A Saint Andrews high school student has recreated a popular Haida art piece with 15,000 pieces of Lego with hopes of working for the Danish toy giant after graduation.
The piece, a recreation of Bill Reid’s “Haida Dog Salmon – Skaagi,” took Henry Campbell over 50 hours to construct over a span of more than five months.
Campbell, who’s in Grade 11 at Sir James Dunn Academy, hopes the piece will get him close to his dream of designing Lego sets.
“I’d love to work for Lego … just the idea of getting to handle Lego bricks all day every day for my job seems pretty awesome,” said Campbell.
