// Other Worlds - Jee Young Lee


Have you ever stumbled across something so incredibly amazing that you just couldn't take your eyes off of it? That's sort of what happened when I initially saw Jee Young Lee's work. The images she captures in her tiny studio are unbelievable... and even better? There's absolutely no Photoshop! None! These scenes are painstakingly crafted by her own two hands. She often spends weeks, and even months, building these ethereal worlds. Lee uses these images as indirect self-portraits, but also as a means to build off events in her own life or Korean fables. My Modern Met has a synopsis of a few works, describing what they're meant to convey to the audience. It's well worth the (short) read, if you're interested! I'm totally floored by the execution of her work. It's hard to pick favorites, but I'm definitely loving #1 and #2. Wouldn't they be beautiful blown up and hung on a wall? -- Which one is your favorite?

  2. The first two and then the final one are my favorites, although I love several in the middle, too... especially the veins with her sitting with her hands on her stomach. That's lovely.

    I've seen her work before, and just to think about the planning stages, let alone the actual implementation... it's kind of intimidatingly cool.

  10. Holy... crap. Those are amazing.

    These are the kind of things that always make me wonder... what would it be like to be in that artists mind? It's so fascinating.

  12. Hello Kaelah, wow, these are truely beautiful, the 4th one reminds me of Yayoi Kusama, have you come across her work at all? Certainly not as delicate as this but interesting all the same. So hard to choose a favourite, I do really like the first and last, but they are all lovely. Rebecca x
