Truth Arrives in Slanted Beams by Sarah Meyohas, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California

The image depicts a modern architectural structure in a desert landscape. The structure is a smooth, white, curved form that resembles a wave or a shell, with a large opening that allows a view into its interior. Inside, there is a small tree and a circular, transparent object mounted on a pole, which appears to be a light fixture. The structure is set on sandy ground, with sparse vegetation and distant mountains visible in the background under a clear blue sky. A person is seen walking near the structure, providing a sense of scale. The overall scene is bright and sunny, with the white structure contrasting against the blue sky and sandy terrain.</p>

Sarah Meyohas’ sublime and seductive imagery blends analog and digital technologies to illuminate the systems shaping contemporary society. As an artist, inventor, and economist, she investigates the aesthetic and creative potential within science and technology, driven by humanity’s fascination with optics and perception.

Her immersive installation showcases “caustics,” light patterns formed by the refraction or reflection of light through curved surfaces. While this optical effect often occurs naturally, such as at the bottom of a swimming pool, Meyohas transforms it, using innovative light-shaping technology enabling visitors to project sunlight onto a ribbon-like structure cascading across the desert floor.

The Desert Biennial produces desert X, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in California, conceived to produce recurring international contemporary art exhibitions that activate desert locations through site-specific installations by acclaimed international artists. Its guiding purposes and principles include presenting public exhibitions of art that respond meaningfully to the conditions of desert locations, the environment and Indigenous communities; promoting cultural exchange and education programs that foster dialogue and understanding among cultures and communities about shared artistic, historical, and societal issues; and providing an accessible platform for artists from around the world to address ecological, cultural, spiritual, and other existential themes.
