Jay Lee is a nomadic visual artist from Seoul whose practice deeply explores the passage of time, memory, and the essence of place. Her work is a confluence of found objects, natural materials, and serendipitous encounters, woven together to create pieces that transcend geographical and cultural boundaries. This process reflects the fluidity of identity and captures the transient nature of existence, shaped by the ever-shifting landscapes that she inhabits. Each piece Jay creates is an intimate dialogue between the past and the present, offering a visual narrative that encourages viewers to reflect on their own experiences of belonging, displacement, and the concept of home.
Jay’s art is profoundly influenced by the rapid transitions of early motherhood and the diverse environments she has traversed, from the bustling streets of New York to the tranquil settings in nature. These varied landscapes are not just backdrops but active participants in her creative process, informing the materials she uses and the themes she explores. Through her work, Jay seeks to foster a deeper connection between individuals and their environments, encouraging contemplation of the temporal and spatial. By inviting viewers into these carefully crafted spaces, she aims to create an immersive experience that resonates on both a personal and universal level, ultimately exploring the ever-evolving narratives of identity, memory, and the search for a sense of place in a constantly changing world.
