Visual Therapy was commissioned to oversee the full management of this project from concept to completion. This involved working directly with both the artist and the National Bank of Kuwait to ensure all project needs are met and delivered.

Designed by Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej, the 15m sculpture takes inspiration from and combines elements of originality, modernity, stability and development.

The sculpture depicts several ships molded into a single form with the sails of the ships moving in one direction. The inscribed calligraphy on its sails illustrates the 1952 Amiri Decree, a defining moment in the bank’s establishment and history.
