So Lee explores psychological narratives and themes that transcend the social milieu. Her work is mercurial, intended to mirror the psyches of the viewer.
She investigates strange and uncanny psychological moments amid domestic familiarity and the comfort of the everyday mundane. The juxtaposition of the two opposing elements calls for the recalibration of psychological temperature concerning the past, current, and future. Through figures that serve as props, So Lee exposes psychological relationships and moments that unify the global narrative without cultural specificity. The anonymity of the figures present in her work allows the discovery of personal meanings and new possibilities.
Inspired by detailed observation and alteration of visual perspectives, the artist studies photos and scenes from everyday life in search of “blueprints” that would reflect her visual oeuvre in consideration and provide numerous possibilities and creative potential.
