Delivered in collaboration with UAP, Al Salem's work punctuates all sixteen floors of the Tower Lobby, Al Salem has created a genuinely prolific artwork that anchors the entire building with his material interpretation of the Arabic word 'Kul' in perforated stainless steel. The complex and expansive meaning of the word Kul, meaning 'all', 'everything' and, at times, 'infinity', is enhanced in the design by depicting the word geometrically and abstractly to resemble a seemingly endless form. The work is inherently tethered to the philosophy of Ithra in its sheer expansiveness that captures the aspiration of limitless possibility.
