You step off the Saadiyat promenade into a dim, humming room where light responds to your footfall and patterns bloom at your fingertips. The air carries digital echoes rather than gallery silence; projections move like water, and parts of the installation invite you to walk through shallow, reflective pools that ripple under your weight.
