It took three years to align this vision.

Amanda Parer creates giants. Her figures are massive, stylized, and bathed in a pure white light. When you stand before them, your ego settles. You feel small, but you also feel a strange sense of peace.

For SOFIA LIGHTS vol. 5, we brought six of these beings into the woods—the largest gathering of her humanoid collection ever shown. Placed among the trees, they looked like visitors from another world.

We didn’t see this as a separate display. We wove these giants into a single, unified experience alongside our own installations, Particles and Presence 2.0. The shared pulse of the people sitting on light and the hundreds of glowing elements merged with the silent gaze of the white giants.

It wasn’t a collection of art pieces. It was one breathing landscape. A space designed to strip away the noise and return you to a state of wonder.
