and an immersive exhibition of illuminated inflatable forms inside a contemporary building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With mushroom-like proportions, pixellated patterns, and a slew of changing hues,

home,&#8221; said ENESS founder Nimrod Weis. &#8220;This approach of \u2018art is everywhere\u2019 means that we responded to the inspiring architecture by creating an artwork that is at once a conversation with the built form and an installation in its own right.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year&#8217;s festival was curated around the theme of an Arabic proverb meaning &#8220;a hut holds a thousand friends,&#8221; inspiring creative responses that center on bringing people of all ages together and promoting interactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A statement says, &#8220;The entire exhibition, spanning over 600 square meters, is an ode to the power and importance of creativity in the face of online obsession, geopolitical upheaval, and the rise of dark forces taking us far from the soulfulness of art, human connection, and gentle contemplation,&#8221; says a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more on ENESS&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eness.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"
