Iraqi string artist crafts portraits using nails and thread
Holding his thread firmly in between his fingers, Iraqi artist Saeed Hwaidi carefully tightens the black string between nails he had hammered into a wooden board. His technique, called string art or filography, is time-consuming and requires a lot of concentration, especially for the crafting of portraits which is what Hwaidi likes most.
