Truth Arrives in Slanted Beams by Sarah Meyohas 3, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California
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 image depicts a woman standing in a desert-like environment, facing a curved white wall. The wall features a projection of concentric circles with the text "ARRIVES IN" at its center. The woman, with long dark hair, is wearing a light-colored patterned shirt and dark pants, holding a circular object, possibly a surfboard, in her hands. The ground is sandy, with sparse vegetation, including a small bush near her feet. In the background, mountains are visible under a clear blue sky. The overall scene suggests a modern, minimalist architectural setting in a natural, arid landscape.
