Since before I can remember I have been inthralled to art. My art is the dichotomy the darkest of human emotion and a strong desire to touch the beauty of the sunset. I paint mummies because I fear them and yet see the dark beauty of someone preserved from the ravages of time. My painting often reflex in inner struggle between mania and depression, and the turmoil my mental illness causes. Painting for me is a battle to the death with the canvas to get it to express my inner mind.

See Dezeen Events Guide for an up-to-date list of architecture and design events taking place around the world. The 2022 LEAP One Eye on the Stars Conference took place in Riyadh on 1 to 3 February. It has previously designed the circus-tent-like golden Chimelong Theatre in China and its mass timber temporary venue for ABBA's virtual Voyage tour is currently nearing completion in the UK. The studio brands itself as an "entertainment architecture" practice and is best known for creating set designs for arena concerts by the likes of The Rolling Stones and U2. Stufish has created further mirror-based installations that it hopes to unveil in the coming year. "The scale is also a signifier of what can be achieved when design utilises the right material in the right way." The installation is built from LED tiles and mirror foil and weight only 15 kilograms "Anything smaller and the power of the changing content diminishes." "This size was the minimal scale at which an installation like this could be impactful," said Woroniecki. Because it is made with mirror foil rather than fabricated elements in glass or steel, the installation is light, weighing just 15 kilograms. Woroniecki said the kaleidoscope demonstrated how much could be achieved using very little. Triangular entry and exit openings at either end allow visitors to enter, and have been carefully placed so as not to disrupt the visual experience of the installation. People are able to walk through the immersive 40-metre-long installation Stufish's kaleidoscope features LED tiles on its floor and end wall, with the mirror foil forming the rest of the space. "The sensations one feels between different scenes within the kaleidoscope is like stepping from one room into another – some are fully immersive and displace you from a position of stability, while others allow you to re-centre and recognise the confines of the space," said Woroniecki. The designers tried to alter the scale of the environmental imagery often enough to allow visitors to "have a breather" in their experience.

The imagery in the kaleidoscope is drawn from scenes of Saudi Arabian nature

The imagery is layered with digital effects and reflects off the mirrors to produce a kaleidoscope effect. On the LED tiles, Stufish screened a presentation made up of scenes of Saudi Arabia's natural environment, with imagery stretching from beneath the sea to the skies above the Arabian Peninsula. The mirror foil - a Showtex product called GiantMirror – allowed Stufish to produce a totally seamless and warp-less finish, with no visual interruptions to the viewer's experience. Titled LEAPscape, the kaleidoscope was made of LED tiles and tensioned mirror foil. According to the studio, it is "the world’s largest of its kind." Stufish's kaleidoscope was on display at the LEAP 2022 conference

Measuring 40 metres long and 6 metres high, Stufish's kaleidoscope was installed at the 2022 LEAP technology conference in Riyadh and provided guests with a walk-through, immersive experience.
