Every so often, a dream project comes to life—and this was one of those. I was beyond excited to join the talented team at Mathematic in bringing visuals to the unique “1001 Seasons of Elie Saab” show, held on November 13, 2024 in Riyadh. My focus was the segment “Deep Dive Into a World of Details”, a tribute to Elie Saab’s most mesmerizing creations. The visuals were set to Amr Diab’s iconic hit Nour El Ain, which he performed live during the show.

The stage setup presented exciting challenges: working in 8K across three front-facing screens, combining LED and projections. On either side of the runway stood two massive screens, each made of 18 panels, with another screen integrated into the catwalk itself. Despite its complexity, the setup inspired us to dream big, crafting a fully immersive experience that transported the audience into a mesmerizing, abyssal world of magic and detail.
