Yeesookyung is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Seoul, Korea. Internationally known for her Translated Vase series, Yee combines histories: art historical, spiritual, and cultural into unique objects, imagery, and performances that reflect both her personal heritage and a global borderless moment. Many of her works mix distinct historical references, for example: combining the meditative process-based Tibetan Buddhist silk scroll painting (thangka) with the flat graphic style of Goguryeo Dynasty era cave paintings.
