Description
This striking sculpture at Hamad International Airport features a powerful lion emerging from a manhole, with Qatar’s national bird—the vibrant hoopoe—perched gracefully on its head. Created by Gillie and Marc, the artwork is a symbolic celebration of hope and renewal, representing animals rising into a safer, more compassionate world. The manhole serves as a metaphor for emergence and transformation, suggesting a future where wildlife is no longer hidden or endangered, but protected and free. Together, the lion and hoopoe form a majestic duo, embodying strength, beauty, and the promise of coexistence.
