East-West / West-East Sculpture
Rising out of the sand In the Brouq nature reserve, 60 kilometers north west of Doha, is the East-West/West-East installation by sculptor Richard Serra.
It’s made up of four plates, each about 15 meters tall, that stand along a one-kilometer corridor from the desert to the sea. Serra says he chose this particular spot because he liked the height of the old sea levels and the tall plates represent them.
The area is also said to be favored by Sheikh Hamad, now known as the “Father Emir,” who remembers watching antelope gather here during his childhood. Now Qataris, expats and tourists flock here to create their own memories against an impressive backdrop.
