The Founder’s Memorial is a permanent tribute to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, late ruler of the UAE. It was unveiled in February this year. An art installation called “The Constellation” forms the centrepiece of the memorial. The design by public artist Ralph Helmick comprises 1,300 geometric shapes and 1,000 cables, which create a three-dimensional portrait of the late leader. At night, these shapes shine like stars.
