"This piece was inspired to me by the Tower of Babel, as well as childhood memories such as playing with paper cups or building sand castles on the beach.
By using approximately 2,000 paper cups that I painted, like bricks, I had the figure stacking them skyward as if to an unknown height. Through this, I expressed the act of heading toward an endless desire along with the effort it takes to catch a star (achieve a dream).
The glass marbles spread on the floor have multiple meanings such as grains of sand, the danger of the paper cup castle collapsing, and fallen stars."
_JeeYoung LEE
"Cette œuvre me fut inspirée par l'histoire de la tour de Babel ainsi que par mes souvenirs d'enfance tels que certains jeux avec des gobelets en papier ou encore, la construction de châteaux de sable sur la plage.
J'ai peint et positionné plus de 2000 gobelets les uns sur les autres pour créer une forme d'élévation sans fin. À travers elle, je souhaite symboliser le désir d'atteindre un but sans fin. Il s'agit aussi d'une métaphore soulignant la difficulté d'atteindre les étoiles (réaliser son rêve)."
_JeeYoung Lee
