The image captures the expansive central atrium of Aura Mall in Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania. Dominating the vertical space is a large, dark blue and light blue inflatable whale, suspended mid-air by multiple thin wires. The whale exhibits painted details simulating baleen plates on its ventral side. The multi-story mall features a modern aesthetic with light grey structural columns, white walls, and glass balustrades with metal handrails lining the perimeter of each level. The ceiling incorporates a skylight system and is adorned with draped blue and white fabric strips, arranged to mimic waves. On the brightly lit ground floor, two females are seated on an oversized brown teddy bear-shaped bench, positioned adjacent to a large, red KAWS-style figure. The polished floor displays colorful geometric patterned mats. Individuals are observed on various levels; one male, dressed in a dark uniform, stands by a railing on an upper floor, while others are seen walking or standing along the upper walkways and on the ground level. Multiple storefronts, some secured by roller shutters and others open, line the visible floors.
