Our relationship with the material “cement” is seemingly detached yet bonded—we pace on it every day, even living in it.
Lee sees cement as a medium that triggers her daily associations to explore the possibility of material interpretation and sculptural concepts. The process of reshaping cement provokes her into a deeper state of contemplation and transforms her abstract feelings, extending the spiritual state beyond its physical form. Simultaneously, she correlates cement as a formless compound—where water is its medium and earth is its base. The water lifts and activates the stilled soil, mingles and converges it into a solid entity, allowing it to withstand and reverse the current. Cement has a tendency to morph into countless metaphors which are derived from one single substance.
In the exhibition, Lee honestly articulates the complexity in the intertwined emotion she encountered, delivered with a sense of obscurity yet rationally and concealed. She believed the artwork is merely a representation without meaning, and all connotation is a manifestation of the will and interpretation.
