Guimi You: When the Sun Shines Again centers on the act of beginning again — specifically as a tribute to women who have returned to making art after years devoted to caregiving. The central work, Painting, Again, embeds images made by the artist's friends into her own pictorial space, their paintings selected through conversation, authorship becoming shared and painting a site of quiet solidarity. Inspired by time in a sunlit pottery studio, other works trace a parallel narrative of transformation through ceramics and process. Misty, finely detailed landscapes render psychological and emotional terrain where form and atmosphere dissolve into one another, synthesizing East Asian pictorial traditions with Western Romanticism — light emerging precisely because darkness exists.
