Traversing the ocean floor, Lee shows multiple perspectives of her adventure underwater. From straight on, the viewer is immersed in the darkness of the deep sea, its black mass consuming the canvas. From the side view, the viewer can see the three-dimensionality as an arrangement of paper representing a school of fish swimming alongside the energy flow kicked up from a submarine.

Lee’s main theme in her practice is discovering the underwater world in the hidden sea. She uses different blues to identify the depth of each work with deeper blues being covered by masses of fish and lighter blues holding more equal space to the fish. These inner landscapes are Lee’s own imagination of the world we often are unable to see.

Lee uses light experiments to create balanced scenes between the dark schools of fish and the illuminated floor of the sea. She shines bright whites into the water, the light working with the school of fish to aid in their unified movement. Her exploration of the unknown requires pushing the limits of the physical body, where light plays a huge role in discovering further and further into the sea.
