En( Light)
(En)Light is a monument-like form, crafted out of laser-cut corten, galvanized powder coated mild steel sheets, designed in a sleek and contemporary silhouette with dynamically-controlled 10,000 LED lighting. The design of the intricately patterned lights is inspired by the symmetry and grid found in Islamic design and geometry. The silhouette is inspired by the historic art of monolith monument-making, such as those that, thousands of years ago, in Menhirs found around the world. It is also a stark reminder of both the famous Stonehenge of the 3rd century BC– magnificently built to either mark the sacred landscapes, significant events, or the observatories to study the movements of the sun and the moon that continue to remain a mystery.
