It is the crisis-struck airline that has seen two commercial planes go down in just four months, killing a total of 537 people.
But Malaysia Airlines and its disasters were made the subject of a sand sculpture on a beach in Durban, South Africa.
Local artists depicted the planes involved in the MH370 disappearance over the Indian Ocean in March and the MH17 crash after being shot down over Ukraine last month.
The dramatic sculpture shows one plane intact and another snapped in half, on top of a rocky outcrop.
The work was created by a group called The Sand Gang, who earn their money by creating works of art and charging tourists to have their photographs taken with them.
The union of traders pay £2 a month for a permit in order to be able to display their art.
Website Fin24 captured photos of the sculptures, which it dubbed ‘a poke’ at Malaysia Airlines and its recent tragedies.
Sand Sculptures are often created at popular beach resorts around the world, although usually they focus on less controversial topics.
Other works created by The Sand Gand in Durban include detailed sculptures of the Big Five safari animals and even a convertible car that tourists can pose in for a picture.
