The latest addition to Qatar's thriving public art scene was inaugurated yesterday by the Chairperson of Qatar Museums H E Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
The sculpture 'Smile' serves as an invitation to spread positivity and optimism.
The sculpture is installed along Doha Corniche against a backdrop of the country's serene waterfront.
HE Sheikha Mayassa also took to social media after unveiling the new art piece, stating: "Always a pleasure to see work by our Qatari artists on display all around Qatar!"

'Smile' joins new public art pieces scattered across Doha such as the reflective sculpture 'Toub Toub Ya Bahar' by Salman Al-Malek, 'Gekrose' by Franz West, 'Hear We Hear' by Suki Seokyeong Kang, and more.
