In this photo, Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi takes center stage. The artist chooses to conceal its bold novelty that stands out under bright illumination. By transforming it into a flat silhouette against a contrasting sky, Roman Bevzenko evokes cultural patterns – "reminiscent of Disney's Aladdin cartoons," forming a collective image of the East through the lens of a European observer. Another enduring symbol, reflection, supports the composition – a mirage, an oasis. However, it is also a glossy screen where fiction and reality blur together.
