The Silica Sea

In the still waters of the Gulf, invisible cities drift — diatoms, silent engineers of glass, constructing worlds too small for the eye, too vast for comprehension. The Silica Sea is a dialogue between the microscopic and the monumental, where the breath of the ocean meets the hum of concrete. Abu Dhabi emerges not as a city, but as an organism — its minarets, towers, and wind-catchers echoing the diatom’s geometry. The ancient and the ultramodern blur into one texture of silica and salt, architecture and algae, memory and code. A monochrome meditation on transparency, structure, and time — where every surface, from the sea floor to the skyline, reflects the same cellular dream.
