Born in 1995 in Seoul, 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 recent "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.

Dai Ying, born in 1983 in Emei Mountain, Sichuan, China, currently lives in New York, Los Angeles, and Beijing. Dai embarked on her artistic journey at the age of five, studying Chinese calligraphy and painting. In 2011, she committed to a full-time art practice since her move to New York, continuing to create to this day. Her academic pursuits took her to the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts in China, where she engaged in Associate Fellow programs.

Dai Ying's artistic endeavors span a wide range of mediums, including mixed-material canvas paintings, large installations, performance art, video, and the initiation and organization of art projects. Growing up amidst this natural, massive energy field, Dai internalized the nurturing forces of the mountain’s water and soil, which have become integral to her artistic practice. Her works explore the political and emotional interplay between the self and the world, examining how personal identity is influenced by the sociopolitical events of her environment.

Vita Kari (1994, Los Angeles), is a non-binary artist, a social media star, and a 2024 graduate of Otis College of Art and Design.

Textiles pay homage to their grandmother’s rugs, symbolizing their family's migration from the Middle East to their Los Angeles upbringing. The techno-fabric wall-works along with the rhinestone-encrusted hamburger installations represent the complex reality of the American Dream in Hollywood: a culture of pop, fakes, cheap pomp, and fast-food. Together, Kari creates a cohesive narrative bridging cross-cultural heritage and contemporary digital experiences.
