Jay Lee

Journey

Pigment, coffee grounds, acrylic on fabric

“Looking back on my life for the past 30+ years, I see moments of struggle, joy, and gratitude. Everyone walks their own path, with their own agony and happiness. This piece honors all the paths we walk in our own way. A dance performance amplified the message of the artwork.”

— Jay Lee

About the artist

Jay Lee is a nomadic artist born in Seoul, South Korea, who, through her art, opens the door to looking into herself. Her practice starts with exploring different materials and generating a body of work where concepts such as dreams and emotions are intertwined with nature, landscape, and the spontaneity of forms to narrate her journey of self-discovery. Her understanding of space and her use and choice of materials connect with her personal exploration.
