Based on a poem by Qatari poet Saoud Al-Kuwari, The Desert and the Sea aims to create an immersive experience through VR and spatialized sound. With 360-degree footage from the desert and sea, the project seeks to enhance the sensation of immersion through a frameless video format.
Sound features prominently with recorded voiceovers, field recordings and spatialized sound design. The intention is to reflect on the natural beauty and history of the landscape, as well as the diverse population of the Gulf region.
