Kay Lee is a second-year MFA student at the University of Pennsylvania. Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Kay explores her identity, discomforts, and traumas as a young, non-binary Asian in this bizarre land called the United States of America, and its even stranger colony, the Republic of Korea. Kay makes paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, and VR art. She loves baking but only when she is not depressed and is fond of anything that contains an ungodly amount of garlic.
