Continental, has unveiled an extraordinary art installation titled 'Circle of Trust' at this year's Dubai Design Week, running from November 7th to 12th. Marking Continental's commitment to environmental responsibility and innovative recycling.
The 'Circle of Trust' project, a collaboration between Continental and the acclaimed artist Moey, repurposes discarded tyres into a powerful symbol of human trust. Over 100 individuals, including public and media representatives, shared their perspectives on trust, which were then inscribed onto each tyre. This process not only recycles material but also infuses these objects with profound personal and collective significance.
Moey, a UAE-based conceptual artist with 15 years of residence in Dubai, is the creative force behind this installation. His work, deeply rooted in the UAE's rich tradition and diversity, aims to celebrate unity and community involvement. The 'Circle of Trust' is his latest endeavor, transforming used tyres into a canvas that transcends conventional art boundaries, each inscription a testament to the trust we place in each other.
This project underscores Continental's dedication to sustainability and their innovative approach to repurposing materials. By giving discarded tyres a new lease on life and linking them to the concept of trust, Continental demonstrates how innovation and art can merge to serve a meaningful cause. Jose De La Fuente, Managing Director of Continental Middle East, emphasized the symbolism of the 'Circle of Trust' in reflecting the company's commitment to sustainability and trustworthiness in the tyre industry.
Visitors to Dubai Design Week are invited to engage with the installation, read the inscriptions, share their stories of trust, and contribute to the evolving narrative. The project not only celebrates the cultural diversity of Dubai but also highlights the universal nature of trust, transcending cultural, social, and demographic boundaries.
Continental's 'Circle of Trust' is a statement on sustainability, a celebration of diversity, and a reflection on the interconnectedness of trust in our lives. This initiative sets a precedent for how companies can creatively contribute to environmental sustainability while engaging deeply with the community.
