Introduction of Artist: Park Sunmi's artworks prominently feature parrots symbolizing speakers. These avian depictions represent the artist's contemplation of entities entitled to hold diverse opinions. The birds portrayed in the artist's works reflect various perspectives: some birds, devoid of light in their eyes, plunge into the abyss of infinite contemplation, seemingly frozen in time, while others, with sparkling eyes, assert their presence and exhibit unwavering self-belief. Through birds characterized by distinct stories, names, and personalities, the artist visually expresses philosophical musings.

Continuously delving into self-reflection as an objectified entity, Park Sunmi remains faithful to nuanced emotions, delving deeply into the lives of beings, including self. Graduating from Hongik University, the artist initially worked as KBS's inaugural radio writer. Furthering their studies in painting and printmaking, they pursued education at the New York School of Visual Arts and The Art Student League of New York. Since 1997, Park Sunmi has consistently showcased their works in both team and solo exhibitions.
