Isreali artist Zygo is known for using the shape of a clothespin in his paintings and sculptures. Now, he wants to make a building in the shape of the everyday item.
Zygo and his team plan to build the 50-floor Clothespin Tower in the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). One side of it will be a hotel with 1,200 rooms, and the other side will have 300 apartments. Plans for the tower also include a 10,000-square-meter shopping center with art galleries and restaurants.
The artist said that the Clothespin Tower will be "the biggest piece of art ever created." Instead of just looking at the art, however, Zygo wants people to be a part of it. "We give them an option to be a part of the tower — enter it, live in it, spend time inside it," he told Gulf News.
Zygo said that the idea behind the shape is how two halves can come together to make a whole. He said the tower will be "a symbol for love, peace, and hope."
He said he sees the tower as a "bridge to peace" between Israel, where he's from, and the UAE, where the building is planned to be built.
Israel and the UAE signed the Abraham Accords Peace Agreement, a deal to normalize the relationship between the two countries, in September 2020.
Zygo's team plans to start building the tower in 2023. They also want to build clothespin-shaped towers in other places, including China and locations across eastern Europe.
