The Scroll (2019) in Sharjah, UAE marks the start of a year of celebrations as the Emirate becomes the UNESCO World Book Capital for 2019.

The Scroll is a contemporary interpretation of the ancient Arabic scrolls - a single, spiralling sculpture that loops towards the sky. The design and inspiration are representative of a celebration of reading and the power of books to unite people, central to the purpose of the House of Wisdom and that of the UNESCO World Book Capital initiative.
