#3 Jung Lee

We usually see neon lights in the city but she took it to the strange places. It looks little deserted.

Jung Lee (1972 - , South Korea) had studied journalism before she was absorbed in art. She said that coming from this background, she's always learning towards being "objective."

She often combines a landscape and a phrase. This is because she had faced with the limitation of language when she went to London to study art. She found very common words such as "I STILL REMEMBER", "MY HEART IS YOURS." Ironically, these conventional expressions make people more lonely. She brought this idea from Roland Barthes's book A Lover's Discourse.

Jung's most notable work is the fifth album art of Maroon 5. It seems like computer graphic image, but it's real picture. She found an unknown reservoir in South Korea after the period of her effort to find proper place. The image contrasts with vivid V and the barren reservoir.

I like tossing out questions like "Why" into the air and thinking about it. I also like to hypothesize about "If's" as well.
