Nada Al-Reemi stands in front of a clay block for more than seven hours, turning it into a work of art, carving out details of the eyes, nose and other facial features. She does not stop until it looks just right.
The Saudi sculptor began her career out of curiosity and a desire to try something new, discovering her talent and learning new skills along the way.
“When I finished my first ever sculpture, I had a feeling of happiness and achievement that exceeds the feelings I get when I draw,” told Arab News.
“Then I made another sculpture representing my features and when I was done, I knew I could sculpt anything,” she added.
Since she was a little girl, has enjoyed painting and playing dough, with her mother teaching.
