My Inner Peace by Noura Al Mansoori
A façade turned into a meditation on stillness and finding one's place.
My Inner Peace is Qatari artist Noura Al Mansoori's mural for the Mina District, painted at World Wide Walls: Doha 2023. In the artist's own framing, it visualises a state of deep thought, contemplation and meditation — an image meant to guide the viewer toward inner calm and toward finding their rightful place. Against the busy, fast-modernising backdrop of the port and the growing city behind it, the work reads as a deliberate pause: a wall that asks you to slow down rather than photograph and move on.
Exhibo editorial
Al Mansoori is one of the three Qatari artists in the 2023 edition, and her contribution shows the range of the local voice in the district — where Al Suwaidi's Battoula looks outward to heritage and identity, My Inner Peace turns inward, toward feeling and interior life. Together they make the case that "local" here isn't a single subject but a spectrum.
How to find it
On a building façade within Mina District; part of the same walkable cluster of murals along the port lanes. Combine with Al Suwaidi's Battoula and the international works nearby.
