A photograph from Abu Dhabi

When I discovered recently that a friend of ours was staying at the Bab Al Bahr Hotel in Abu Dhabi, I asked them to send me a photograph of the sculpture of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, 
that we created in 2013, and which is on permanent display in the hotel lobby. 
Here is the photo they sent.

Past Project: May 2013

Commission for Fairmont Hotel Group in Abu Dhabi

I worked with my assistant 'Emma Yeo' in the Bab Al Bahr Hotel lobby for three weeks in May 2013, to create a paper sculpture of the 'Sheikh Zayed Grande Mosque'. Here are some photos of us working on it.
