Originally intended for defense purposes, Zekreet Fort was built entirely of faroush stones, or beach rocks. The fort followed a rectangular plan and towers were added in a later stage to its four corners to further strengthen its structure.
Richard Serra adds the astonishing East-West/West-East sculpture to the desert landscape, taking art to the people. Serra's public art has always been driven by a desire to take sculpture off the pedestal and on to the street. To him, the content of the work derives from interaction with the viewer, meaning he always has visitors in mind. He acknowledges that he can't predetermine what people will make of it.
