Je Hyuk Lee, born in 2001, is a young Korean artist who integrates structural thinking and keen observation from his background in life sciences into his visual practice. His childhood, surrounded by nature and animals, significantly influenced his artistic vision. He combines realistic painting with historical and mythological elements, weaving them into modern visual narratives. By blending the irregular rhythms, nature textures, and surreal imagery, his work offers an immersive experience that allows viewers to explore their own memories and sensations.

"The Myths of Becoming" series is a profound mythological exploration centered on life and death, the resurrection and judgment of the afterlife, and the change of the self. The series explores the cycle of nature and the journey of the soul by reinterpreting the myths of change and regeneration from a modern perspective. Each piece shows that death and decline are not the end, but a new beginning, and depicts inner purification and change of the soul through judgment and resurrection.
