Biography

Hyewon Mia Lee's sculptural poetic works explore female narratives in fiction, from myths to stories and internet anecdotes. She constructs figures of stagnation within space, where inner resonances vibrate. They let us hear echoes of structural powerlessness under colonialism and patriarchy. The recurrence of stereotypical roles manifests as large skins of oppressions that bear their traces.

The works of Sol Cattino, Marilou Poncin, and Hyewon Mia Lee reinterpret the siren as a figure of resistance and emancipation. No longer confined to the role of a seductive and dangerous creature, she emerges from the water as an autonomous presence that challenges patriarchal and social structures. Through this transformation, the siren becomes a symbol of voices that were once suppressed but now assert themselves with strength and determination.
