Tagging it digital art, he said the beauty of the piece is best seen when looked at from afar. He quipped:

"Push Pin Art is a digital art you will not be able to understand when you're standing close to it until you move a little bit away to see the beauty. I used the blue, white, black, yellow and red push pins because this are the primary colour that bring out this rainbow when viewed."
