Artist: Ami Park

Title: Courage, 2020

Medium:iPhone Photo; 30x40 inches

Description of Piece: This photo was taken on one of the COVID-19 quarantine days. It was a dark and quiet evening. I wanted to clear clutters in my head. I started walking with no destination planned to calm my mind and worries. And when I looked up, there was an answer I was seeking; courage to move forward to my chosen path with confidence. I stood there to absorb the joy of the reflection and took this photo with my iPhone. We must be willing to be present and respond despite the fear of uncertainty and change which I hope viewers to feel. Photoshop did not retouch this photo.

Artist Statement: I recognize the nature itself is unique and beautifully irregular. It frequently delivers countless and unexpected concepts that are reflected in my art. As an artist, I am responsible for creating the beauty that exists beyond my vision with my craftsmanship. I believe that craftsmanship is a perfect execution of my imaginations that draws from passion, creativity, and patience. When making art, I feel the source of freedom that is inside of me. I tend to question what lies beyond tangible objects and their connections to the human mind. The spiritual links that wander around us are expressed through a variety of fiber materials. The subject of works determines the mediums and forms. Each project is considered independent, but it can be grouped into a range of different media and themes.
