QATAR WELCOMES THE WORLD

The Qatar Welcomes the World sculpture series brings the essence of the original public art sculpture into a refined, wall-mounted format, offering a more intimate yet equally powerful representation of Qatar’s vision of progress, tradition, and global unity.

Each piece, available in bronze and brass, maintains the key elements of the original sculpture while adapting them to a more versatile scale. The backdrop features the geographical map of Qatar, intricately engraved with traditional motifs inspired by a historic Qatari door from the National Museum of Qatar’s permanent collection. This detail reinforces the country’s seamless transition from a rich cultural heritage to a dynamic, modern future.

At the heart of the composition, a Qatari woman stands as a symbol of strength, resilience, and national pride. In her left hand, she holds a globe, reflecting her essential role in shaping society, nurturing families, and contributing to the country’s development. In her right hand, she gracefully extends a traditional incense burner, a universally recognized symbol of Qatari hospitality. This welcoming gesture is particularly significant in the context of the FIFA World Cup, representing Qatar’s openness to the world and its deep-rooted culture of generosity.

The use of bronze and brass adds a timeless quality to the series, emphasizing strength and permanence. These materials not only enhance the sculptural details but also ensure that each piece becomes a lasting testament to the values it represents. The wall-mounted format allows for wider accessibility, making it possible for this meaningful artwork to be displayed in homes, offices, and institutions, where it continues to inspire and connect people with Qatar’s cultural identity.

By transforming the monumental sculpture into a collectible series, Qatar Welcomes the World extends its message beyond the public space, allowing a broader audience to engage with and appreciate the story it tells—a story of tradition, progress, and an enduring spirit of welcome.
