Camoulflage 2.0 is a portmanteau, a combination of camel and camouflage, inspired by the way camel hides blend with the desert dunes. The installation strikes the audience as a desert scene from which an abstract camel silhouette emerges. Just as the animal’s natural coloring and form enable it to blend in with its surroundings, so too does the installation meld with its desert backdrop.

The scenic shades of the natural camel hair come from different carefully selected camel breeds. The camel hair on the rock-like sculptures symbolizes the magnificent creature that is synonymous with the desert. It is also a reminder that the site is now a public art park that celebrates the desert; it welcomes everyone to discover this place as a masterpiece of nature.
