The caption is there every time a famous person is linked to Qatar hosting the 2022 World Cup, which begins on November 20.
From David Beckham to former Danish compatriot Peter Schmeichel, who confirmed earlier this week that he will work for Qatari broadcaster BeIN Sports, the condemnation can be read between the lines.
And now another Dane has been singled out for his contribution to Qatar: the internationally recognized artist Olafur Eliasson, who is currently exhibiting an outdoor art installation in the middle of the al-Zubarah desert in northern Qatar.
Rainbow Man
Eliasson’s contribution is part of Qatar Creates Week, a celebration of culture, fashion and art held in conjunction with the desert state’s hosting of the soccer World Cup.
A work made of metal and seemingly mirrored glass, the Danish-Icelandic artist is known for his use of elemental materials to better understand the human experience.
His best-known work can be found at the Aros Museum in Aarhus: The 150-metre-long, three-metre-wide rainbow panorama – a circular glass walkway that carries all the colors of the spectrum.
