Artistic Statement
Ami Bergman’s artistic practice informs an act of (re)discovering and (re)building a rapport and relationship with the self, moving forward from past traumas and hardships in life.Placing herself front and centre is driven by compassion and marked by self-love and reconciliation with who she is and how she appears today in a society built on norms and standards that do not always seem to include her; a woman who will be deemed older and factually also is.Her practice is a mirror of now living and enjoying life with its various inherent realities, reveries and oddities. She has taken a step back in the past, but this is her claiming her space and time in the world.
