Lee Sodam traces the concealed layers of human nature through the quiet interplay of body, memory, and mask. In her practice, the mask drifts between exposure and shelter, while the body appears only in fragments—hands, faces, gestures—bearing the residue of lived time. Memory does not unfold as narrative but settles as sensation, lingering on the surface of the image.
Her drawings speak in whispers, carrying untold stories beneath their lines, and her paintings—marked by concentrated intensity—restore the primal pleasure of painting through presence, touch, and the immediacy of being.
