Like something out of an ominous science fiction, this massive glowing red orb makes a memorable impression.

Installed as part of the Noor Riyadh light festival, the huge, 35-meter (114 ft) tall ovoid is suspended under the Wadi Hanifah Bridge, and emits an intense red glow, which is reflected in the river below.

The shape, combined with the hovering lit form, make for a true alien-like arrival.

Design studio SpY is responsible for the project, which is bold and unforgettable.
