The installations at Al-Nafal Park present an opportunity to initiate a cultural dialogue. Through the sculptures, you can truly see how artistic creativity meets natural heritage, fostering cultural exchange and interaction between art and the environment. It offers an immersive experience that brings elements of wildlife into an urban setting, symbolizing the ongoing relationship between humans and nature and their influence on one another.
