      Abu Dhabi Art 2016

      Gateway by Gu Dexin. This is where all the bananas went. Banana art at its best. The visitors may pick the bananas, eat them and throw the skin to the urns (marble style). This is a modern interpretation of stages of life. Imagine the adulthood of a banana in its full glory until it gets rotten.

      Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Manarat Al Saadiyat

      (Inside the infinity mirrored room. Concept from three artists – Song Dong, Bharti Kher, Yayoi Kusama.)

      Since our tummies were well-fed during the holidays, the next best thing to do post-new year’s eve is to satisfy our mental (and artistic, yeah!) craving. Persistent on burning the calories from the sumptuous sticky rice and other happy food, we did an enjoyable walk to the museum yesterday. We seized the opportunity to visit the “Seeing through light” exhibit in Manarat Al Saadiyat which aims to showcase the selections from the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi collection. Continue reading →

      Snapchat-5703935704258315256 Marhaba! That's "hello" in Arabic. I am an expatriate based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). I started writing about my adventures and misadventures few months before arriving here at winter of 2008. I have 2 cats and a dog who live harmoniously together. I am also surrounded by kindhearted, crazy, funny and indescribable humans! I was a dormant blogger for almost 3 years because of countless reasonable justifications like watching football, postgraduate studies, sleeping, traveling, caring for the world, and more! :) I am just so happy that I am back! It is never too late to catch up with the people and things we really care about. Feel free to look around.
