A conversation with Iranian-American artist Y.Z. Kami. Kami has gained notoriety over the last four decades with his large-scale portraits of faces in contemplation, as well as a variety of other bodies of work which explore themes related to spirituality and the architecture of sacred spaces through both figuration and abstraction. In the conversation, we discuss the commonalities in his diverse body of work and what can be seen at his latest exhibition in New York.
