The Doha Fire Station on Monday opened an exhibition by Qatar-based artist, Jesse Payne, titled 'One Dust', which will run until January 17, Qatar Museums (QM) has announced.The exhibition, open from 9am to 7pm, is inspired by sand storms and is the latest initiative by the Doha Fire Station to create a hub for art and culture in the country."'One Dust' is a series of works that recreate the overwhelming sense of power and scale that sand storms possess, exploring both the fascination and fear brought forth by this natural phenomenon and emphasising the idea that we all come from one ‘dust’”, QM noted.Going beyond its literal meaning, Payne uses dust as a metaphor for the obstacles and challenges that the region is facing during these tumultuous times.
