Though
Lee was born in Korea, she has frequently photographed the desert landscapes of
the United States, finding resonance in their combination of strong form and
empty space. Rather than simply capturing an image, Lee seeks to convey her
experiences. To create a unique, visceral viewing experience, Lee brushes photo
emulsion onto handmade mulberry paper, creating an active and textured surface.
She often uses a panoramic camera , resulting in a long horizontal or vertical
image that is reminiscent of Asian scroll paintings.
