This calligraphic installation, by Wissam Shawkat, captures the opening quote of the United Arab Emirates’ Constitution in bronze. The installation reads: "We, [the Rulers of the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al Qaiwain, Ras al Khaimah and Fujairah] whereas it is our desire and the desire of the people of our Emirates to establish a Union between these Emirates, to promote a better life, more enduring stability and a higher international status for the Emirates and their people."
