An Arab sheikh has had his first name carved into the sand of the island he owns in letters so large they can be seem from space. Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan (the articles are calling him Al Ahyan, but that’s incorrect) is a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi. The letters are half a mile high. It’s interesting, though, that he chose “HAMAD” instead of “حمد.”

Does this qualify as land art?
