Marina Fedorova’s “Starship” Sculpture Installed at DIFC Sculpture Park
Aerodynamic structure draws from traditional Islamic star motifs
Marina Fedorova’s chrome-plated sculpture “Starship” was unveiled at the opening of the 4th DIFC Sculpture Park on 26 November 2025 and will remain on view through 31 May 2026, presented as part of her ongoing Cosmodreams project.
Among the 65 sculptures on display, Starship is distinguished by a digital layer — a video that reveals Fedorova’s personal vision of cosmic motifs. Visitors can scan the QR-code with their smartphones to access a video that adds narrative depth and context to the physical work. This video allows viewers to engage directly with the artist’s perspective, transforming the sculpture from a static object into an interactive storytelling medium.
Starship references Islamic geometric star patterns and traditional navigation methods and is extended by a video. The work explores themes of cosmic exploration and human identity central to Fedorova’s Cosmodreams project. The 2025 DIFC Sculpture Park features 65 works by 40 international artists under the theme “Enduring Forms,” transforming the financial district into an open-air exhibition.
