Embark on a journey a hundred kilometers from the heart of Doha to discover the captivating art installation Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day by the renowned Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson.
The art installation features twenty circular canopies, each with downward-facing mirrors supported by steel semicircles. Ten of these are arranged in the center to form a pentagram when viewed from above, referencing designs found in ancient Islamic patterns. It also includes three single rings and two double rings, all securely fixed to the ground.
From afar, the artwork may seem like a desert mirage. But as you navigate beneath the structure, you'll be immersed in an exploration of the relationship between reflection and reality, engaging your senses and intellect.
