Jay Lee is a nomadic artist born in Seoul, South Korea, who, through her art, opens the door to looking into herself. Her practice starts with exploring different materials and generating a body of work where concepts such as dreams and emotions are intertwined with nature, landscape, and the spontaneity of forms to narrate her journey of self-discovery. Her understanding of space and her use and choice of materials connect with her personal exploration.
 
In art, she has found a space to reconnect with her emotions, transform new facets of her life, and redefine her memories of the past. After certain decisive events, such as becoming a mother at an early age, migrating from her original country, and breaking with a series of social conventions from which she was raised, the artist finds in art a place to free herself from those mandates and break with stereotypes that define her. As a nomad, her ideas of permanence and convention have been transformed. She finds herself in motion, constant changes, the possibility to reinvent herself day by day, to let herself be carried away by the uncertain flow of encounters and the opportunities that change brings with it when guilt and fear are left aside. 
 
This gesture is reflected in her constant experimentation with new materials, media, and ways of exhibiting her pieces. Currently, she is working with materials such as acrylic, natural pigments, ceramics, papers and fabrics, as well as objects found at the sites where she lives and what are available in her immediate context, to introduce them in her installations and paintings. For her, connecting and building meaningful connections with spaces and people are fundamental when producing her pieces, as they reflect increasingly broader perspectives on different ways of living; each place is an opportunity to generate new encounters that she translates into her artistic production. In the same way, she incorporates elements of nature, such as stones, flowers, and plants, as metaphors for connectivity and cycles in life. Her artistic processes are guided by imagination, playfulness, spontaneity, constant experimentation, and transformation.
