“Non-predictable” is an exploration of the sounds of turbulence in nature. Do the sounds of wind hitting trees or the tonal colours of moving water have emotions that fluctuate over time? This piece is arranged in three sections that are approximately 15 minutes each.
Omar Reyna is a Mexican-Canadian interdisciplinary artist who focuses on the intersection of research and the activity of making. He believes that the process of making art while experimenting serves as a form of physical thinking. Much of his artistic practice takes place in the Boreal Forest near Whitehorse, Yukon, where he lives and works.
Born in Mexico City, Omar Reyna has studied visual communication, photography, sculpture, painting, and the philosophy of image. His work has been exhibited in various countries, including Canada, Argentina, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the USA. Notably, Omar was a finalist for the Yukon Prize for Visual Arts in 2023.
