The piece, created by visual artist Francisco Suelo, draws inspiration from desert dunes, Arabian horses, the falcon, the Burj Al Arab, and the Burj Khalifa. Suelo, born in Campinas, now resides in a rural area of Jaguariúna, surrounded by wildlife and plants that provide constant inspiration.
After years of working in the beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals industries, Suelo found stress relief through woodworking.

His career took a significant turn when he participated in Expoflora in 2024, discovering his talent for landscape design and becoming a landscape designer as well as a woodworker and artist.
