Kay Seohyung Lee

Kay Seohyung Lee (이서형) was born in 1995 in Seoul, South Korea. Lee grew up near the US Army Garrison Yongsan Base, immersed in the aftermath of the Korean War. Raised bilingual, she moved to the US at 14, grappling with her identity and experiencing constant otherness. Lee's work reflects absurdity, chaos, and solitude, drawing inspiration from her desires, despairs, and the complexities of her life. In her "Hellscapes" series, she explores body, gender, sexuality, religion, culture, language, and relationships through diverse mediums. Lee holds a BFA from Washington University and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. She currently resides in Philadelphia, lecturing part-time and exhibiting internationally.
