JeeEun Lee

Recently, I’ve focused on exploring through sculpture how nature influences my sense of self, which, for me, feels similar to searching for the fundamental truths of nature. Nature creates in me a sense of awe for the universe while urging me to reconsider the meaning of life and to be more self-aware. In my current practice, the elements of nature that inspire my work are water and mountains. For me, water is an essential element of nature and an object for meditation; it evokes thoughts of time and memory. It inspires me to project my creative spirit into my artwork. Mountains convey limitless energy and make me contemplate space, time, and my life. In connection with these two elements of nature, I am interested in self-image, memory, reflections, and shadows. My work often includes figural elements. The figure cup series expresses a sense of belonging, self-identity and emotions. These themes resonate deeply within the context of my artistic exploration, as I strive to embody the interplay between the natural world and the human experience. By integrating these concepts, I aim to create a dialogue that invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys of self-discovery and connection to the environment.
