As part of the Manar Abu Dhabi 2023 exhibition, Proto21 collaborated with Emirati artist Asma Belhamar to bring her vision, Chasing the Dance of Alfay, to life through large-scale 3D printing. This immersive installation explores the interplay of patterns and shadows inspired by the UAE’s vernacular architecture. The design evokes a sense of movement, symbolizing the passage of time and the velocity of change—inviting viewers to follow shifting light and form in a poetic architectural dialogue.
