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

The image depicts an outdoor scene with a person interacting with a circular metallic device. The individual, facing away from the camera, is positioned on sandy ground, with a large white curved wall in the background. The person is holding a circular metallic object, which appears to be a mirror or a reflective surface, and is using it to project a bright light onto the wall. The light forms a circular pattern with the word TRUTH prominently displayed in the center. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day. The overall setting suggests an art installation or an interactive exhibit, with the focus on the projection of light and the word TRUTH.</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.
