Gray Matter

Curator's Statement

Exploring Human Settlement and Interconnected Paths Welcome to "Gray Matter," a solo exhibition by Tami Zizhou. In this captivating collection of maps, Zizhou presents a unique perspective on human settlement patterns, routes, structures, and terrain. With a delicate harmony between shapes inspired by nature and those shaped by human activity, "Grey Matter" invites us to contemplate our movement, progress, and search for shelter and the interconnected paths we leave behind on our shared earth. "Gray Matter" explores the lasting imprint that human activity leaves on the globe. As we traverse through life, build structures, create transportation systems, and navigate our surroundings, our paths become interwoven, crisscrossing one another. Zizhou presents this web of interconnectedness as a visual representation of our collective impact. Each map is an invitation to delve into the complexities of our human experience, prompting questions about the ways in which we navigate our world and connect with one another.
