STORY: :: An art installation of thousands of teddy bears in Qatar pays tribute to the children killed in Gaza
:: Doha, Qatar
:: Bachir Mohamad, Lebanese artist
“‘The Echo of Lost Innocence’ is an art installation made out of 15,000 art pieces. Every piece represents the echo of the voice of the martyred children of Gaza, who were killed due to Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023. The symbol of the teddy bear represents innocence and childhood, which is globally agreed upon, even religiously, culturally, and socially as well, and that is why I used it in this art piece. The cement symbolizes the destruction that happened and is still happening in Gaza and Palestine.”

The exhibition titled “Echo of Lost Innocence” is part of an initiative to raise awareness among fallen children and raise funds for the enclave.
The art installation, designed by multidisciplinary Lebanese artist Bachir Mohammad, will be on display until September 26 at Msheireb Downtown Doha.
The Israel-Hamas war was triggered by Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7, when the militant group killed some 1,200 people and took about 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
The resulting Israeli military campaign has reduced the Strip to rubble and killed more than 41,300 Palestinians, according to the enclave’s health ministry.
