Distinct from the finished editions, these unique Polaroids offer an intimate glimpse into JeeYoung Lee’s creative process, with some bearing the artist’s own handwritten annotations. Small in format yet rich in character, these rare photographic treasures are true collector’s gems, capturing a fleeting moment in the journey from initial image to finished artwork.

In Nightmare, the figure is compared to a magnet, drawing in paper clips—objects designed to hold things together but also irresistibly attracted to magnets. These clips symbolize the constant, tangled challenges we face in life. As they hover near the figure, they represent the heavy burdens we are forced to bear. The piece reflects how, despite our efforts to keep things together, life’s complexities and struggles continue to attach themselves, pulling us deeper into their grasp.


____
Dans Nightmare, la figure est comparée à un aimant, attirant des trombones – des objets conçus pour maintenir les choses ensemble, mais également naturellement attirés par les aimants. Ces trombones symbolisent les défis constants et entremêlés que nous rencontrons dans la vie. Lorsqu’ils se dirigent vers la figure, ils représentent le poids des fardeaux que nous devons porter. L'œuvre illustre comment, malgré nos efforts pour maintenir l’équilibre, les complexités et les luttes de la vie continuent de s'accrocher à nous, nous entraînant toujours plus profondément dans leur emprise.
