The Emirates’ military was founded in 1951, and after the pivotal Union in 1971, the seven emirates were unified under one country. This led to the creation of the unified armed forces, whose primary responsibility is to defend and maintain national security. The Etihad artwork celebrates the event of the union, with seven pillars to represent the United Arab Emirates alliance. Oriented in such a way as to invite the user to explore the artwork, the pillars show the image of a falcon, the primary symbol of the United Arab Emirates military force. The anamorphic image allows us to see the symbol only if we look at all the seven pillars together. This artwork is interactive, allowing users to walk across the pillars, and it creates a sense of anticipation and sparks curiosity.
