I wasn’t expecting to love Riyadh quite as much as I did. An artist asked me why I am interested in Saudi and I think it’s something I’m still trying to parse—to say nothing of the vulturous parachuting in of press trips. Since moving back, I’ve been watching the way that opportunities are disseminated here and wonder how different it would have been if I’d played that whole game. Still, returning to the region feels like a course correction of sorts and I feel like I am where I am supposed to be.
