The Opus by OMNIYAT Triptych — Business Bay, Dubai
The Opus by OMNIYAT Triptych — Business Bay, Dubai
“The Opus by OMNIYAT Triptych — Business Bay, Dubai” is a three-panel architectural study of one of Dubai’s most distinctive contemporary buildings — The Opus, conceived by the late Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid.
Rather than presenting the building as a conventional architectural record, this triptych moves closer. Glass, reflection, perspective and negative space become part of the composition, revealing an architecture that appears to change according to where the viewer stands.
Hadid became internationally recognised for an architectural language that challenged the expected behaviour of buildings. Monumental structures were given movement; rigid materials appeared fluid; straight lines surrendered to sweeping curves and unexpected voids. The Opus is a remarkable expression of that philosophy.
Across the three photographs, Dubai itself becomes part of the building. Neighbouring towers are caught within the immense glazed façades, their forms stretched, fragmented and reconstructed by reflection. Architecture reflects architecture until the distinction between the building being photographed and the city surrounding it begins to dissolve.
The outer panels emphasise this interplay of geometry and reflection. Their strong vertical structures establish scale, while the reflected skyline introduces another architectural layer within the glass. The changing angle of each photograph prevents repetition and allows the eye to move naturally across the three-part composition.
At the centre is the defining architectural gesture of The Opus — the dramatic free-form void carved through the heart of the structure. Its flowing contours stand in deliberate opposition to the disciplined grid surrounding it. What can appear from certain perspectives to be two separate towers is unified into a single architectural composition around this extraordinary opening.
Together, the three photographs move through reflection, structure and space. The triptych becomes less about documenting a landmark and more about examining the relationship between what is built, what is reflected and what has deliberately been left open.
Beneath this visual complexity lies something more fundamental. However adventurous architecture becomes, every great structure ultimately depends upon engineering, calculation and a foundation capable of carrying everything that rises above it.
Matthew 7:26-27
Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Dubai is known for luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture, and a lively nightlife scene. The city’s skyline is filled with skyscrapers, with the Burj Khalifa being the most famous. The Dubai Fountain, located at the base of the Burj Khalifa, is a popular attraction featuring jets and lights choreographed to music. Artificial islands just offshore are home to Atlantis, The Palm, a resort with water and marine-animal parks.
Dubai Creek, a natural inlet on the southern shores of the Persian Gulf, divides the city. For over a century, it has been the centre of Dubai due to the city’s early reliance on fishing, pearl diving, and maritime trade. The oldest buildings in Dubai line the creek, most of which date from the 1960s and are rarely more than two stories in height. On the western shore of the creek, in the Bastakiyyah quarter, some much older buildings have been restored, featuring the distinctive wind tower design that was brought by Persian merchants in the early 20th century.
This is a signed and embossed Open Edition triptych.

Every photograph begins with the camera it was created on. Whether captured on traditional photographic film or a modern digital camera, every image is produced with the same commitment to craftsmanship and authenticity.
Film negatives and transparencies are personally developed by hand before being professionally scanned and prepared for printing. Digital photographs are captured in RAW format and carefully processed to preserve the original scene rather than alter it.

The Collections
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Every collection represents years of exploration, patience and careful craftsmanship. Some photographs are captured digitally, while others originate on traditional photographic film.
Film photographs are developed by hand before being scanned using professional equipment. Digital RAW files receive only careful tonal and colour refinement, preserving the integrity of the original photograph.
Collections are available as either Open Editions or Limited Editions, depending on the artwork.
The Triptych Collection Sizes

Triptych Size Guide
For Triptych Collection artworks, the selected size applies consistently across all three panels.
In compositions where the side panels are portrait and the centre panel is landscape, the selected size refers to the maximum height of the artwork. For example, when A3 is selected, the two portrait side panels are produced to the A3 long dimension, and the centre landscape panel is scaled proportionally to match that same height.
Where all three panels are landscape or all three are portrait, the selected format remains consistent throughout the set — A0 is A0, A1 is A1, A2 is A2 and A3 is A3. Sizes are not mixed between panels.
Available Triptych Collection sizes: A0, A1, A2 and A3.
The Editions

The Photographic Process
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Many CFP Prints artworks begin with traditional photographic film.
Each negative or transparency is developed by hand using carefully selected chemistry before being professionally scanned for printing. Every stage of the workflow is managed with the objective of faithfully reproducing the original photograph rather than digitally transforming it.
Every photograph represents a real moment, captured through experience, patience and light—not artificial intelligence.
