In an era defined by ceaseless motion, the human need for stillness and restoration is
a radical act. Unwind explores this necessity, bringing together the meditative work
of three New York-based artists to juxtapose the structured and the organic, the
bound and the free, the solitary and the social.
Daniel Park’s paintings evoke the ethos of Dansaekhwa, a monochrome painting
movement that emerged in postwar South Korea. Painting on raw burlap with old
materials found in his studio, Park’s mindful brushwork embraces repetition and
material simplicity as an individual act of self-healing that also acknowledges the
humble qualities of his chosen medium.
Miwa Neishi creates ceramic sculptures rooted in the practice of writing. Within each
hand-built form is a fragmented trace of Japanese calligraphy, drifting between
language and abstraction. Her vessels evoke a whimsical anthropomorphism, with
glazing techniques that explore conscious and unconscious movements of the brush.
Sana Maqsood’s immersive sonic installation captures the fleeting moment when two
minds synchronize, using extensive biofeedback technologies to translate brain
waves into sound and visuals projected in space. Her multisensory installation is an
exploration into the ephemerality of presence and human connection.
Through painting, sculpture, and sound, Unwind explores the tension between
repetition and release, material constraint and transformation.

Daniel Park
As an artist, Park explores the tension between togetherness and isolation, drawing inspiration from his social relationships and personal connection to the world around him.
His practice is fluid and medium-agnostic, allowing the concept to dictate the form rather than the other way around. He is currently focused on relational art, contemplative spaces, and works that invite thought and reflection—pieces that don’t just exist but actively engage with those who encounter them.
Miwa Neishi
Miwa Neishi was born in Tokyo 1990, studied sculpture at Niigata University where she earned her BFA in 2013, and in 2016 earned her MFA in Sculpture from Kent State
University in Ohio.The artist works primarily in three-dimensions, and her hand-built sculptural works draw inspiration from abstract expressionism, prehistoric clay figures, and Japanese calligraphy. Neishi has exhibited and sold her work in both the U.S. and Japan. Currently, she works at Sculpture Space NYC in Long Island City and lives in Queens, New York.
