The installation constructs a layered narrative, where the collision of energy transition and culture is dissected through an eclectic assemblage of collected objects. This tableau renders the European energy transition not as an abstract phenomenon but as a tangible force, imprinting itself on the local scale and permeating the fabric of daily life.

At the foundation of the installation, traditional Moroccan carpets anchor the narrative. A Beni Ourain carpet, woven from wool, and a Boucherouite rug, crafted from repurposed textiles like wool, cotton, and synthetic fibers, embody the shifting currents of energy transitions.

The advent of modern projects has curtailed Morocco's traditional nomadic lifestyle, leading to a scarcity of wool, once a vital resource for these cultural artifacts.

Above these carpets lies a contemporary artificial layer symbolising NOOR Solar Plant. This solar plant reflects the modern shift in energy sources and overlays the traditional carpets, illustrating the ongoing evolution of energy transitions.

On top of the carpets, Moroccan lanterns are juxtaposed with artillery shell cases. The lanterns, rooted deeply in ancient Maghreb cultures, blend Amazigh, Jewish, Islamic, Arab, and African influences. Their evolution during French colonization demonstrates how modernization has impacted these traditions.

The artillery shell cases, including those from the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, highlight the connections between energy, resources, and warfare. This conflict led to an oil embargo and a global energy crisis. It prompted research into renewable energy and reshaped geopolitical dynamics. These changes continue to affect today’s energy transitions, including the Abraham Accords.

Transitioning between these elements, a Traditional Jar filled with Sahara sand symbolizes collectivity. In contrast, a 'Contemporary' Jar symbolised by oil tanks and water heater tanks, reflects modern individualism and privatization. The traditional jar represents communal sharing and hope. Meanwhile, the contemporary jar illustrates a shift towards capitalism and personal possessions, highlighting evolving relationships between energy, resources, and daily life.

Throughout the installation, Water Meters are scattered. They symbolically represent the depletion of water resources caused by the NOOR Solar Plant. Before the plant was finished, Morocco heavily relied on the Al-Monsour Ad Dhabi dam. This dam was crucial for both irrigation and drinking water. The reliance on the dam underscored the country’s water stress. Consequently, it highlighted the challenges of balancing water use among the solar plant, agriculture, mining, and urban needs.

Another significant element is the Sahara Sand from the Ouarzazate region. This sand illustrates the Sahara Desert’s role in replenishing the Amazon rainforest. It does so through dust plumes that carry phosphorus. Despite seeming minor, this contribution greatly affects the Amazon’s ecosystem. Thus, it serves as a metaphor for the interconnectedness of global energy and environmental systems.

A European Rollcontainer, stacked as a tower and filled with European and global artifacts, represents transition, modernity, and nomadism. It embodies the pressures of global forces and includes references to the World Bank.

Surrounding the Rollcontainer and positioned at its top are Optical Fiber Cables and Recycled Electronic Parts from Big Tech. These components signify the shift towards green energy and cloud-based operations. Although they may seem intangible and futuristic, they rely on a fundamental connection to physicality and nature. Ignoring this connection could have severe consequences.

Together, these elements weave a complex narrative. They invite visitors to reflect on the profound and often hidden impacts of energy transitions on culture and the environment.
