The Dutch artist and sculptor Tom Claassen is known for his depictions of nature and wildlife.

Continuing his signature sculptural style, Claassen created Falcon, also known as Saqr in Arabic, as an abstract representation of Qatar’s national bird, for Hamad International Airport. Taking inspiration from the falcon’s soft feathers, the sculpture’s vivid curves echo the aviation routes from Qatar to the rest of the world, while also drawing inspiration from Arabic calligraphy and the folds found in the fabric of traditional Qatari attire.
