Within Lee’s work, social spaces such as greenhouses, botanical gardens and parks - designed to look common and accessible, yet represent a controlled environment that mimics public space while maintaining strict social boundaries - are representations of the social and financial barriers that define the current era. Lee focuses on the transactional nature of belonging, where basic human rights are pursued with the same intensity as a high-stakes investment.
