This painting embodies the old Qatari proverb “Bukhoor Al-Souq” (Incense of the Market). It portrays, in an abstract form, a woman in traditional jalabiya carrying an incense burner on her head, with words rising like smoke. The proverb refers to a curious person who interferes in others’ affairs or asks about matters that do not concern them—just as market incense spreads everywhere without invitation.
