00:00This is, if you can see, it's the pipe artwork.

00:05It's a garden pipe artwork which is used to wash the plants and the trees.

00:12So you put water on the plant and on the trees.

00:16So I decided to make an artwork with the pipes.

00:21I chose Queen Elizabeth to perform the pipe artworks.

00:28These pipe artworks, it's never been done before.

00:31It's my first time.

00:33So if you look at this one, see, we don't even try to make the shavings.

00:38So people, they wonder, they think it's a color.

00:41It's not a color, it's just a matter of cutting.

00:43See, all this is just cuttings.

00:45See, it's all cuttings.

00:47It's very nice looking, smooth.

00:50So I'm very excited with my new ideas.

00:54And I wanted to share to the worldwide the style of the pipes.

00:58So that will be my next subject, to perform the most legendary people,

01:05the most famous people in the world, to have their collections with the pipes.

01:10Well, the next one will be Sheikh Zayed.

01:13And then it will be Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid.

01:18And then you will have Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed.

01:20And then also you will have a Saudi president, Mohammed bin Suleiman, the princess.

01:27Well, I chose Queen Elizabeth because for me it's very important because she's a queen.

01:34And everyone knows her.

01:36She's a world-famous lady.

01:38And everyone loves Queen Elizabeth.

01:40And for me, it makes me very happy to see Ismail Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid with Queen Elizabeth

01:47in terms of Sheikh Mohammed receiving award by Queen.

01:49And every time I see them together in the media or whatever.

01:53So it's inspired me to start with a Queen artwork.

01:57It's to show the whole world that I've performed the pipe artwork with the Queen Elizabeth.

02:05So as you can see over here, it's made of all of cutting.

02:09It's not a color at all.

02:11My target is to paint or to cut artwork for all famous people in the world.

02:21You can see here it's all cutting.

02:23So it's my masterpiece.

02:27After all, I was really confident and relaxed myself.

02:31And this is what I exactly I want.

02:34I can cut everything.

02:37So I think why this man is washing the pipe with the garden,

02:41why I don't perform an art with the pipe.

02:45And then when I look at the pipe, I notice inside the pipe it's black color.

02:49So I start to cut them inside.

02:52So I start to make a shading with the drilling holes.

02:55So I have like three shadings over here.

02:58So I'm just excited and happy to see the pipes is made by a legency woman, Queen Elizabeth.

03:08So I'm happy to see it.
