Let’s Grasp the Mirage
Album
Description
Our design explores the delicate balance between preservation and development, inspired by Egypt’s oases—a microcosm of global sustainability. Visitors engage in an interactive “game” mirroring real-world challenges. The mirage symbolises elusive harmony, questioning whether balance is achievable. Inspired by Popper’s words, “The future is open … we all contribute to determining it”, the installation stresses shared responsibility in shaping the future. The fragile oasis is a powerful symbol of the complexities faced by ecosystems worldwide, connecting Egyptian culture to imminent global themes.
