Sharjah, known as the third largest emirate in the UAE, has a long history as the host of the annual Sharjah Islamic Arts Festival. For this 25th anniversary of the festival, artists from over 105 countries around the world were featured, including Ryotaro Muramatsu’s “DANDELION PROJECT.” The “DANDELION PROJECT” is an art initiative that aims to “plant” interactive DANDELION sculptures that digitally bloom flowers—a symbol of peace—bloom across the world. The project was launched under the title of “Breath / Bless Project” in 2020 amidst the COVID pandemic, and has been supported by Seiji Kawajiri since 2021.
