Mohammed Al Thagafi’s ‘Ambition’ is inspired by the ambition of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with three rings that symbolize the first, second and third stages of the Saudi state. The graceful texture of the piece represents Al Thagafi’s relationship with modern architecture as a source of inspiration throughout his work.
