My practice started working on animation, film, and various materials from research based.

Even as an adult, I create a story in search of something rich in concentration that can continue the conversation that was cut off from the distant past. Fragments of a common image that was accepted in different places at the same time. In other words, the women are summoning the images of the past that they shared unknowingly into the present and return to the virtual world built in the cartoons or animations they watched as a child. It is in the process of exploring how women show solidarity and a sense of belonging in the past and present. For example, in my animations, the women (grandmothers) heal their weary minds in an unstable state by playing card games or drinking alcohol in a safe place after finishing their daily work. These gatherings show women’s sense of solidarity and belonging during economic precarity. In the past, people were excluded from or vulnerable to the norms set by society, and they felt insecure, and in the process, the means of knitting allowed them to exist in limited social activities.

Postnatur is a multimedia installation with sound in space, with three videos in loop projected on the 22 suspended burnt-out fabrics in size 180-120 cm and 120-180 cm.

What is nature? Man is undoubtedly a part of nature; nature is the mother of man and all life on this earth. In nature, the foundations are laid for everything that a human being creates: cities, systems, devices, education, the Internet. Absolutely every invention of mankind, a repetition of what exists in nature. Everything that exists, organic and non-organic, is nature in a sense. I wonder why is primary nature more harmonious and less destructive than the nature that man creates?

In art, I am interested in both the essence of man and nature, exploring it in the patterns and structures of organic life. I explore organic forms and patterns in nature using a variety of media including sculpture, installation, video and photography. In art, I use nature as a metaphor for the state of the world to explore the present.

In my recent work, I have discovered textiles as a medium for me. In the process of working with them, patterns from nature are transferred to the fabrics using a special technique.
For the current installation, I have created a series of fabrics with burned out

organic patterns created. I screen printed the fabrics using a burnout technique. On the various fabrics, I visualized specific organic patterns such as the texture of leaves, skin, water waves, tree bark, etc.

The patterns were photographed and technically processed, then the screens were exposed and patterns were burned out of the fabric with a chemical paste. This made the patterns translucent, allowing the other layers of fabric to be seen through the burned off pattern. I used the blank space burned on the fabric like a brush to paint nature's textures on it.

(working title) is the third installation work, following in 2018 and in 2022, based on his ongoing practice of making an alternative/refracted map of the planet Mars. 
Lee drew/recorded the images on the paper consulting the map of Mars, “Mars Trek”, which is produced by NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration) using the visual information taken by their satellites on the orbits of the planet. The drawing/recording process only captures the “named” objects from the map, starting from the crater “Columbus” which is the automatic starting point of the map’s tutorial.
According to Mars Trek, there are currently 1783 named objects (Nomenclature) on the planet. (30.05.2022)

It starts with a body, finding a way to a body, passing waters and waterways on its way. Absorbed it seeps through complex and often leaky networks, from every pore through the underground channels, river courses and wetlands. Docks to the waterbed and settles in. As a brief pulse of sound, anaerobic microbial memory draws attention as trapped air rises to the surface from the bottom of the sediments and spreads olfactorily throughout the space.

'Cultivating Relations' is an invitation to dive into the unheard and often unseen more-than-human worlds.
