DONŪPOP: A unique art movement has emerged combining the dynamic and interrelated worlds of comics, anime and hip-hop, with elements of modern art. It celebrates its multi-cultural, international influence on science fiction, action and adventure and other confluences within and surrounding present day artistic culture. It's defined by an inspired, original approach to existing entertainment media that redefines the media itself.

In the spirit of this, R. Jackson has coined this new genre “DONŪ, in tribute to famed hip-hop producer J Dilla, whose last work, the magnum opus “Donuts” left an indelible mark on that industry. R. Jackson & Caiphus are pushing DONŪ into the realm of Pop Art.

With DONŪPOP: Objects of Desire, they explore the meaning of desire as it relates to spirituality in the context of popular culture. This new work challenges viewers to examine their desires and the reason they exist.

Qatar is one of the nations with a notable worldwide presence, and it has a network of connections that stretches to the world's most remote countries, both east and west.
As a result, I worked on creating a contemporary airport with all of the requirements of the world's best and largest airports, and it was called Hamad Airport in Doha, Qatar's capital.
By constructing this massive airport, Qatar will have put itself on the path of the newest nations, as well as the most contemporary and mobile airports.
Because of the enormous development in the aviation industry and modernization, nations have strived to expand and equip their airports in accordance to contemporary aircraft, their sizes, and their huge capacity.
Airports in any country nowadays are a reflection of its significance, worldwide presence, network of connections, and interests with other nations across the globe.
