Donna's signature giant creatures and many other custom pieces were commissioned just for the event, and you can find the exhibition in the water zone of Elements, an area dedicated to providing a window into nature within the complex. With exhibitions and installations like this one, Elements sets out to establish a cultural centre where music, art, and fashion meet and can be enjoyed by all.
