Gather Wood

The description of the perfume work by Niyam Omali reflects a deep appreciation for the act of trying. Trying to capture a certain light angle, trying to prove a pattern or reveal a composition, trying to explore a mountain's depths, trying to fix time. Through working with moving images, drawing marks, and sculptural materials such as glass and wood, Omali's works aim to contain and reflect the weight of the world and its wonders in its course. The act of trying, in the face of expected failure, is what opens the way for conviction and a feeling of hope in the artist's work. Omali's works, full of contemplation, literally and figuratively, filled with absence and framed by negative space, affirm something unstoppable in the human spirit, something that distance and death cannot extinguish.
