Photos: Travel through light at new art installation in Sharjah

Sharjah - The installation is inspired by the organic and recurring patterns in the universe.

A light installation has come all the way from Belgium to find a new home in Sharjah's Al Noor Island. 'OVO', a light art installation by Odeaubois + ACT Lighting Design, was first displayed in December 2015.

Seven metres tall, the structure rests upon a 12 metre by 8 metre platform, inclusive of a 200 cubic metre pool. Visitors walk through this reflecting pool to approach the egg-shaped pavilion's two portals, and are engaged in a sensory journey of a stunning play of LED lighting and acoustical animations, enhanced with misting water.
