The Story of
DAINE LEE
Art is the mirror of my soul, the lens through which I translate the pulse of society into emotion.
Vessel of My Emotions
This piece shows how the ceramic jar is a vessel of my emotions, ones that I often suppress and are restricted by. Though these emotions are ones felt deeply by me, they hold power to become a barrier in my life to feely express myself and show others a greater transparency in terms of my identity.

A Whisper in the Gray
This piece represents the variety of experiences and emotions I go through, past and present, as represented through the various hands. The sliver of color in the middle symbolizes how even though my life may seem dark and difficult at times, there is always a path to light and a brighter side once you commit to seeking it.
Picnic Cherry
A unique take on a tea set, inspired by the dark red hues of cherries, and the bright vibe of a picnic. Containing a variety of jugs, cups, plates, bowls, and sauce cups, it is the ideal mix to plate a wide range of foods and drinks. It invites a sense of community, calling people to come together and enjoy time with one another.
