Eugene Lee (b. South Korea) is an artist whose practice operates at the intersection of photography, objects, and installation.

With a background in Ceramics (BFA) and Photography (MFA), her work is informed by the dialogue between these two disciplines. Through themes
of childhood playfulness and anticipated nostalgia, she explores the materiality of the photographic image and the subtle moments embedded in everyday life. Working across photography, paper, acrylic, engraving, light, and color,
Lee transforms photographs into tactile, sculptural forms that reveal layers of time, memory, emotion, and place. Rather than treating photographs as flat images, she reimagines them as spatial experiences that invite viewers to
move through, engage with, and reconstruct personal meanings.
