Wahat Al Karama

Memorial to the UAE’s martyred soldiers

Opposite Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a series of heavy grey slabs lean against each other, as if arrested in the process of falling. Some appear to be supporting the weight of others; others seem simply caught, mid-descent.

The work is a memorial to the UAE’s martyred soldiers, titled Wahat Al Karama, or “Oasis of Dignity”, by British artist Idris Khan. It opened to popular acclaim in the UAE two years ago, and has been winning critical awards since.

The falling blocks, clad in aluminium, are inscribed with poetry written by Sheikh Zayed and the aluminium bricks in the pool area below, lit through chinks in the walls, bear the names of fallen soldiers.
