He’s the artist behind the monument at the UAE’s first war memorial.A LEVEL OFCONTEMPLATIONAND SPIRITUALITY.WHAT INSPIRES YOU THE MOST ABOUTOUR HOME, ABU DHABI?I love its passion for art and culture – it’s the intrigue of bringing the most interesting minds together in one place. I find it inspiring to see its growth without boundaries.HOW DID YOU APPROACH CREATING ASCULPTURE THE MAGNITUDE OF WAHATAL KARAMA?I found it liberating. It allowed me to be free and THE BRIDGEStake on the landscape. My art deals with memory.I have always created art that has a level of contemplation and spirituality. I always believe that an artwork should feel immersive and emotional, soI used this level of understanding in the memorial.59This work is unique. I have never made anything of this scale before. I have never made anything with this level of material before. There is nothing quite like this in the world.WHAT MAKES OPEN-AIR SCULPTURES SOSPECIAL AND ICONIC?Making a sculpture in the public realm is more about collaboration. Many different disciplines coming together to make a huge object; it is a phenomenal effort. The memorial was made internationally.The aluminium was cast and painted in Australia and China, the steel in the UAE. The glass for the sculpture in the pavilion was made in Germany.The amount of project managing and the attention to detail on the monument has been amazing. To bring this project together in eight months was astonishing and that is what makes it special. You can see and feel the amount of effort the sculpture has taken. This artwork now forms part of the imagination of a nation.Photo by Jamie FarrahImages courtesy of Idris Khan2# T R E N D I N G A R O U N D R E E MSAADIYATISLAND315L E O P O L D ’ SZ U M A7O F L O N D O NSOWWAH SQUARE,BOUTIK MALL, REEM ISLANDAL MARYAH ISLANDGo for the steak.

I get inspired when creating our signature dishes from understanding the roots of Japanese cuisine and culture. As a chef I love to travel and experience different food styles, meet interesting people and immerse myself in the different culinary scenes. This helps my creative process when it comes to developing new signature dishes. Our founder, Rainer Becker, is A T A S T E O F Z U M Aalways behind us with support and encouragement when it comes to the creative process at Zuma.THE BRIDGESW I T H P A W E L K A Z A N O W S K I DO YOU LIKE TO INCORPORATEE X E C U T I V E C H E F O F M I D D L E E A S T & T U R K E YLOCAL OR REGIONAL INGREDIENTSIN YOUR MENUS?As a Japanese restaurant we import many of our ingredients 63from the best Japanese suppliers and also from a wide range of international markets. Regional ingredients also play an important role in our kitchens. We use the best suppliers in the UAE for many different ingredients.

Our tomato and eggplant salad is a dish that when tried is unforgettable.WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE THINGTO DO IN ABU DHABI?Abu Dhabi is a city that has much to offer. There are a wide variety of great local and international restaurants.There are also many great festivals and events and I really enjoy the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair.Most of al , I love playing football with the Zuma team.WHAT’S NEXT FOR ZUMA?HOW DO YOU SEE IT EVOLVING?Zuma as a group is always evolving.
