Sultan Bin Fahad Saudi, b. 1971
This print came from a single moment in Al‑Rawdah
at Al-Masjid an‑Nabawi:
Sultan pauses by the luminous screen that orders the flow of visitors and films
what unfolds. Hundreds of hands, faces and gestures press toward the barrier a
tangible expression of longing and a collective attempt to touch the sacred.
The work records that crowded intimacy without explanation, leaving each viewer
to meet their own question. Hands searching for God become hands we recognise:
a simultaneously concrete and abstract journey toward the divine
