Criticised Egyptian sculptor strikes back with breathtaking collection

Unique sculptor stands against mockery: Mai Abdullah, the Minya-based sculptor mocked and ridiculed for her “less-than-optimal” statue depicting Mohamed Salah last year, has recently displayed some breathtaking work, declaring that she will not abandon her style despite being subjected to wide criticism. Her recent work includes statues of prominent Egyptian actor Yehia El Fakharany and the late comedy legend Alaa Waley El Deen.
