Artist's collection
Through her art, Al-Mana attempts to emphasize the emotional and patriotic response that was triggered by the blockade that began on June 5, 2017. Qatar underwent a turbulent time, enduring political pressures as well as immense hostilities via social media and electronic attacks. This had an immense effect on the people and was undeniably a major player in the crisis. The collection contains hints of her attachment to poetry and the acknowledgment of the H. H. the Emir's strong leadership and representation.
