The idea for this piece came to Ernesto Neto when he was in the Sharjah desert. He saw a mirage that he couldn’t understand – he didn’t know if it was a human figure with some kind of veil or an architectural construction with a dome in the centre. Later that night, he dreamt of a structure. He envisioned a dome with something like a flower stigma hanging in its centre, from which water fell continuously, creating a pond in the desert. Suddenly, an egg of ice emerged from the lips of the stigma, and it fell down into the pond. Thirteen hours later there appeared a grass never seen before on this planet, and little by little it began to grow, spreading out faster and faster. Other vegetables began to pop up, later joined by some animals. After the silence of the vast sand, the landscape became full of colours and sounds.
