Doha: A 12-year-old boy Dhyan Sreejith has taken a unique approach to honour the Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. When his teacher assigned the task of creating greeting cards for H H the Amir on his birthday, June 3, Dhyan decided to do something extraordinary.
A student from Loyola International School in Al Wukair, Dhyan chose to craft a special portrait of H H the Amir using the intricate technique of string art, also known as nail and thread art.
This art form involves hammering nails into a wooden board to outline a figure and then weaving thread around the nails to complete the portrait.
Dhyan’s creation was not a small feat. He used a 1m x 1m plywood board, 320 nails, 4.5 kilometres of thread, and created 4,000 lines, dedicating between 45 to 50 hours to bring His Highness’s likeness to life.
