Emirati female aircraft engineer and artist, Suaad Al Shamsi, has crafted the ‘Wheel of Knowledge’ as a tribute to Sharjah’s acknowledgment as the City of Knowledge. This unique artwork intricately weaves Al Shamsi’s personal journey into the fabric of knowledge, utilizing an aircraft tire as the canvas, adorned with over 2,000 books donated by Al Mawaheb School.
Shaped like a wheel, the artwork symbolizes the perpetual journey of education, science, and knowledge. It pays homage to the importance of preparing future generations for a brilliant tomorrow. The stunning creation is on display at the Opportunity Pavilion.
