Re Jin Lee's work is deeply influenced by modern Brazilian architecture, such as the works of Oscar Niemeyer and Lina Bo Bardi, as well as Portuguese colonial architecture and traditional Korean art.Korean tradition and her growing up in Brazil have played a role in her overall aesthetic, which is a bridge between simplicity and restraint.
Her work is a set of hand-rolled clay slabs, then stacked or oriented to create a work of art. It is inspired by the contemplative process of ceramics and the belief in "minimalism".
Today, Re Jin’s ever changing journey has landed in exploring the forms of ceramic art sculptures. Subconsciously taking in the influence of the surrounding softness of nature and the unpredictable moods of self, while still maintaining the firm structure of past influences.
