Mosque grounds art

There is a huge amount of public art in Jeddah, mainly in traffic circles along the Corniche, but this was behind the mosque in the picture below and is obviously religious in nature, so I’m not really sure what it is. I thought the sofas under the structure were quite interesting, too.

A bit surreal with those sofas, but fascinating. I'd love to know what it symbolizes. V

My first thought was "water tower". My second one was "Who takes in the furniture when it rains?"

A strange place indeed !
Maybe at night Sheherazade seats there and tell her stories :) V.
