Calling all art aficionados! Yas Bay Waterfront, Abu Dhabi’s leading waterfront destination has today unveiled two new art installations, ‘Flower Parent and Child’ and ‘Final Days’. Growing its remarkable collection of larger-than-life works of art, the destination is now home to over 12 fascinating installations including vibrant murals and intriguing sculptures.

Created by Takashi Murakami, one of the most visible and renowned Japanese contemporary artists working today, the stunning golden sculpture, “Flower Parent and Child” stands 10 meters tall on the Yas Bay Waterfront promenade and features Murakami’s dazzling golden-leaf work to convey “energy” and “hope” for the future. The impressive sculpture is one of Murakami’s largest artworks to date. With all its sides decorated with flower motifs, the sculpture projects diverse expressions of hope depending on the viewing angle.
