Kyungmin Kate Lee’s photography explores the emotional and cultural complexities of migration through the sensory flow of light. Using multiple exposure techniques, infrared photography, and digital layering, she merges shifting moments and landscapes into single images, capturing the emotional nuances of transition, adaptation, and inner conflict.
Her recent work also incorporates modular wooden panels bearing the statement “I’m Korean Canadian.” These 8x8 cube arrangements blend minimalism with metaphor, offering a ritualistic and evolving exploration of identity. By integrating photography and digital media with sculptural elements, Lee creates immersive, multidimensional works that reflect her layered experience as a Korean Canadian artist.

This exhibit invites viewers on a journey through the layered landscapes of identity, consciousness, and human experience. Drawing inspiration from the interplay of architectural spaces and the intricate dynamics of internal and external realms, this exhibition explores the multifaceted nature of perception and self-representation. At the heart of this exhibition lies the exploration of how physical spaces—be they interiors or outdoor environments—act as both containers and reflections of our inner worlds. Delve into the dichotomy of concealment and revelation, using walls, windows, and layers of paint as metaphors for the conscious decisions we make to reveal or hide facets of ourselves. The artist employs diverse mediums and techniques, prominently featuring painting and printmaking. Their compositions range from literal depictions of architectural structures to abstract interpretations that disrupt and expand upon these established settings.
