Lee Bobae (b.1983)
I work primarily with photography, focusing on themes of everyday life and family. I was deeply moved by Jeong Mong-Gak’s Photographic Work of His Family : Yunmi’s Album, which has become a guiding model for my practice. Like him, I seek meaning in the small narratives of daily life and translate them into my work.
