Unborn World

Unborn World, presented in SARAAJ’s portfolio, connects a Max Ernst-inspired painting with a food court’s spatial identity. Cosmic imagery and a surreal visual language make the artwork part of the environment’s narrative and the visitor’s visual experience.

This painting is a free interpretation of Max Ernst’s famous work, one of the pioneers of surrealism in painting. Ernst’s innovative approach created a fantastical world that draws the viewer into the depths of the unconscious. Celestial bodies, a recurring and significant element in Ernst’s works, symbolize exploration and the discovery of the unknown, while also acting as a bridge between the real world and dreams. The use of these elements in the food court design creates a surreal and captivating space, giving the viewer the sense of traveling to a new and different world.

This artwork was designed by the Center for Creation and Development of Artistic Spaces, SARAJ.
