In the Hudson Valley, the Art Omi Gallery emerges with an organic lightness, appearing as though it has grown naturally out of its surroundings. Its form is inspired by experiments with balloon inflation and deflation, where the form-finding process shaped not only the building’s geometry but also its narrative logic.
