In collaboration with UAP, Dennis Nona developed Two Brothers based on a traditional legend from his home island of Badu. 7m cast bronze canoe is supported by six paddles, raising it 5 meters above the ground. The patterning and position of two mother-of-pearl stars seen on the sides of the canoe’s hull reflect the strong wind (Sagerr) and soft wind (Nagai).

Two Brothers is a part of KAUST ART which is an extensive program of artwork commissions that celebrate the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology as an international platform of collaboration and exchange.
