Soo Hyun Lee
Inspired by the social values and beliefs created in the world and how individuals relate and react to those.
Artist Soo Hyun Lee explores the social values and beliefs that are hard to define singularly, but would significantly influence an individual’s life, such as eternity, hope, shame, love, and caring. The artist’s recent work is taking an interest in caring. Her interest in caring reveals diverse sensualities of it, such as caring being addictive and self-destructive or being a step toward understanding and forgiveness.
