Sultan Bin Fahad’s Once Was A Ruler (2017) is a composite of the artist’s photographs of ancient sculptures that depict monarchs from the north Arabian kingdom of Lihyan that he has altered by layering his own bodily x-rays. These superimposed photographic collages are assembled into illuminated light boxes.
