Abstract

An excellent collection of black & white photography by Saudi Princess Reem Al Faisal. In the Princess’s world, all solidity is a reflection of the light which gives it form and content. The orb is round because of the light which curls around it. The archway is tall because of the light which streams through it. Colour is only a distraction. By working in black and white the artist sees and renders to us the Divine light of her vision.

In English and Arabic.
