Current record value
The installation covers the sloping spillway of Hatta Dam as part of the Hatta Sustainable Waterfalls project, developed in collaboration with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Brand Dubai and an artistic production team.
Completed in 2023 and unveiled in 2024, the work received its certificate in 2025. The record concerns the marble-tile portrait itself, not the dam's area or mosaics made from every possible material.
The record conclusion has sufficient verification support.

The Guinness description states 7 December 2023, whereas its structured 'When' field gives 25 December; the creator states completion in December 2023. The entry retains the described day with this discrepancy disclosed.
