“Innovation in Motion: Liwa Sculpture Roundabout”

Liwa – Abu Dhabi

Discover Liwa Festival in a whole new way! In November 2023, we were fortunate to play a part in one of the region’s most significant motor events. Our team created an impressive trophy sculpture strategically positioned at the roundabout’s center. Crafted by an AI generator, this inspiring sculpture pays tribute to the vibrant realm of motors and speed. Drawing inspiration from the iconic events that characterize Liwa, particularly those at Tal Moreeb.

Motor sculpture Liwa Roundabout

Executed by the skilled artisans of the SPME team, this vision came to life through meticulous craftsmanship using lightweight yet durable aluminum metal. Soaring to a height of 7 meters and boasting a weight exceeding one ton, this masterpiece stands as a testament to the seamless fusion of aesthetics and engineering prowess.

The entire creative journey, spanning from conception to completion, unfolded swiftly in just a month and a half. This rapid timeline not only highlights the efficiency of the SPME team but also emphasizes the transformative influence of innovative technologies like AI in shaping our artistic landscape. The Motor sculpture now proudly signifies Liwa’s commitment to embracing modernity while honoring its rich cultural heritage.

The evolution of the Motor sculpture, transitioning from AI conception to reality, initiated with a visionary idea from the client. An inventive AI image set the foundation for an extraordinary collaboration, where designers and structural calculation engineers worked seamlessly to merge aesthetic brilliance with engineering precision.

Once the design blueprint achieved perfection, our dedicated production team took charge. Armed with expertise and creativity, these artisans transformed the concept into a tangible reality, meticulously crafting the sculpture from aluminum metal with keen attention to detail.

As the masterpiece took form in the hands of our production team, the countdown to installation began. With a towering height of 7 meters and a weight exceeding one ton, the Motor sculpture presented both creative and logistical challenges. Nevertheless, our seasoned installation crew rose to the occasion, carefully situating the sculpture at the heart of the Liwa Sculpture Roundabout.

This journey, from the inception of an AI image to the grand installation, stands as a testament to the seamless collaboration of minds and hands. It showcases the power of innovation and teamwork in bringing monumental visions to life. The Motor sculpture now stands proudly as a symbol of our unwavering dedication to pushing the boundaries of art and technology.
