In Echoes of Silence: Meditation in Monochrome, Ami Park invites viewers into a contemplative realm where her monochromatic series takes center stage. With a restrained color palette, Park delves into the profound themes of inner healing and the meditative states that inform her creative process. This solo exhibition marks the first public display of her monochromatic works, capturing a quiet yet powerful journey of personal restoration and self-discovery. By revisiting the inspirations that initially sparked her art career, Echoes of Silence becomes a visual exploration of the delicate balance between external chaos and inner peace, encouraging viewers to pause and reflect. Additionally, the exhibition will feature Ami's color works, introduced for the first time to audiences in Queens.
"In my practice, I explore the intricate relationships between the human mind, emotions, and physical objects, which I conceptualize as a spiritual link. This connection is expressed through fiber materials such as yarn and rope, symbolizing the continuous spinning of life’s threads and the intricate structure of a web. My interest in the universe as the source of all things guides my work, where I investigate the measurable and immeasurable, believing that thoughts, emotions, and objects are all interconnected, vibrating at unique frequencies."
