Gathering Light
410F Options Studio: Poetics of Light
Submitted to Buildner’s Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial Competition

Team: Abdullah Alobaid, Nikita Rafikov

Moments of profound loss have shaped human history, leaving marks that endure across generations. Gathering Light is conceived as a memorial to the nuclear bomb that acknowledges this collective trauma. Rather than recounting destruction, the project focuses on the symbol of resilience: using the space as a vessel for remembrance and shared empathy.
