Chinese Artist Transforms Children's Drawings into Light Sculptures at Noor Riyadh
Riyadh, December 01, 2025, SPA -- At the King Abdulaziz Historical Center in Riyadh, Chinese artist Zhang Zengzeng presents his work at Noor Riyadh 2025. He has transformed drawings by children from Riyadh's Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City (SBAHC) and China into suspended light sculptures titled "The Light to Home," resembling dreams that shimmer in the space.
This installation stems from Zhang's desire to create a shared experience between two culturally distinct communities. He held workshops with children from SBAHC, where their innocent drawings depicted warm homes, radiant stars, and fantastical creatures.
These drawings were transformed into three-dimensional light sculptures, with every line becoming an illuminated element that dances in the air, casting reflections on nearby walls. The project has evolved into a participatory visual space.
