The centrepiece of this year's UAE National Day celebrations in Abu Dhabi – a luminous rotating cube called The Seed – is now a public artwork.

Located in Jubail Mangrove Park, the installation is the work of renowned British artist and set designer Es Devlin, known for melding light, video, language and music in her spectacular creations.

On December 2, the show Seeds of the Union was attended by UAE leaders exclusively due to safety reasons. Conceptualised around the mangrove tree and nature, hence the title, the show was also livestreamed on television.

The glowing cube was centre-stage during the event, accompanied with fireworks and performances on its surrounding platform, while projections relating to the UAE’s history flashed on the spinning object’s surface.

The show also acknowledged frontline workers in the Covid-19 pandemic, with narrations from a Filipina nurse and an Emirati policeman sharing the experiences and challenges they faced in 2020.

Voices of Maj Hazza Al Mansouri, the UAE’s first astronaut, and Chaica Al Qassimi, an Emirati Special Olympics martial arts athlete, were also played.

Now that it is open to the public, visitors can witness the work of kinetic art in action from Monday, December 14, to Saturday, January 30, during the evening. The daily capacity is at 400 people per day. Proceeds from the ticket price, which range from Dh15 to Dh30, will be directed to a conservation project for the mangroves.

The Seed is just the latest addition to Devlin's expansive body of work, which includes stages for opera houses and theatres, concert sets for big names such as Kanye West and U2, as well as architectural runways for fashion shows and immersive installations.

In 2018, she was tasked with developing the UK Pavilion for Expo 2020, postponed to next year due to the pandemic. She is the first woman to be commissioned by the UK to design a pavilion since 1851.

Defence review at a glance

• Increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 but given “turbulent times it may be necessary to go faster”

• Prioritise a shift towards working with AI and autonomous systems

• Invest in the resilience of military space systems.

• Number of active reserves should be increased by 20%

• More F-35 fighter jets required in the next decade

• New “hybrid Navy” with AUKUS submarines and autonomous vessels

Top financial tips for graduates

Araminta Robertson, of the Financially Mint blog, shares her financial advice for university leavers:

1. Build digital or technical skills: After graduation, people can find it extremely hard to find jobs. From programming to digital marketing, your early twenties are for building skills. Future employers will want people with tech skills.

2. Side hustle: At 16, I lived in a village and started teaching online, as well as doing work as a virtual assistant and marketer. There are six skills you can use online: translation; teaching; programming; digital marketing; design and writing. If you master two, you’ll always be able to make money.

3. Networking: Knowing how to make connections is extremely useful. Use LinkedIn to find people who have the job you want, connect and ask to meet for coffee. Ask how they did it and if they know anyone who can help you. I secured quite a few clients this way.

4. Pay yourself first: The minute you receive any income, put about 15 per cent aside into a savings account you won’t touch, to go towards your emergency fund or to start investing. I do 20 per cent. It helped me start saving immediately.
