Waterlicht by Daan Roosegaarde

The artists dream landscape was created to evoke the power and poetry of living with water. In Dubai`s history, water always has been an important element that enabled the cities connectivity to the rest of the world, water is in its DNA. The ambition that Dubai`s has, to be one of the most sustainable cities in the world, moving from an old fossil area, towards a more sustainable area with green energy, learning from nature and to redefine our relation with water, is one of the most important trades marks of the city of tomorrow.  The exhibition sheds light on this ambition, on the power of adopting new ideas, fostering innovation, and strongly referring to the most important theme of the Expo 2020: sustainability.
