About the Work

In Saudi Arabia, no animal embodies regal splendor and majestic grace quite like the falcon. These apex predators possess extraordinary abilities that defy earthly limitations, with their astonishing speed ranking them as the fastest creatures on the planet. Falconry, an age-old tradition in the Arabian Gulf, serves as a profound expression of the profound bond and reverence shared between the falcon and its devoted falconer.

"Falcons from Saudi Arabia" celebrates the deep-seated admiration and reverence for this formidable creature within the region. This remarkable exhibition not only highlights the Saudi Arabian falcon but also illuminates Arab falconry as an art form that is both uniquely and quintessentially Arab.
