Kingdom of Sand and Cement by Peter Bogaczewicz explores the
challenges Saudi Arabia faces today as it rapidly transforms from a
conservative and tribal desert culture to an influential world
power. In less than a century the Saudis have experienced profound
change as they transitioned from living in traditional mud
buildings to commencing work on the world's tallest skyscraper.
Examining this legacy through large-format color photographs, Peter
Bogaczewicz documents a country of sharp contrasts where visual
traces of an old reticent society can be seen in the midst of a
burgeoning modern culture reflecting the ambitious agenda of the
new King and his charismatic son and successor, the Crown Prince, a
decisive risk-taker whose bold policies have received a warm
welcome by some, yet have alienated others.
