Commissioned work with Capsule Arts

Sculptural Installations.
Atlantis The Royal.

MAREO was commissioned to create a sculptural installation for the Atlantis The Royal.

Designed as 3D art panels on light grey plywood with translucent white plexiglass elements, each piece was designed to play with the ‘reflections’ art narrative of the hotel.

The use of lighting and unexpected proportions played a key role in enhancing their awe-inspiring presence within the space.
