After dedicating the past two decades to capturing the lives of individuals in war-ravaged regions across the globe, photographer Bobby Sager shifts his focus to a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled within the Arabian desert. In this captivating visual journey, Sager unveils a series of ghostly faces he discerns within the ancient city's mud walls, offering a mesmerizing tour de force that documents the soul of this enchanting place.
Sager embarked on a journey to the ruins of Diriyah, an ancient desert city left deserted by its inhabitants over seventy-five years ago. The fragile site had been off-limits to visitors for over a decade. However, during the final stages of a comprehensive ten-year restoration project, Sager was granted exclusive access to capture the essence of this mystical destination before it reopened to the public.
Captivated by the intricate details etched into Diriyah's decaying mud-brick walls and winding paths, Sager found himself drawn to the faces he discovered within the intricate mud patterns of the town's architectural structures. Sager invites us to view these faces as our hosts, as we embark on a captivating exploration of the streets, palaces, mosques, and schools that they call home.
This lavishly produced, oversized volume accompanies stunning desert landscapes and architectural compositions, providing a deeper context for the details of the walls and the faces that grace its pages. Through his lens, Sager invites us to immerse ourselves in the rich history and timeless beauty of Diriyah, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who have called this desert city their home for centuries.
