Michael Aaron Lee’s Halves and Holes presents paper-based low-relief sculptures and a drawing exploring the intersection of abstraction and narrative. Inspired by decorative arts and folk traditions, Lee’s works reference picture frames, emblems, and human forms, incorporating symbols like keyholes, mazes, and mirrors. With dark, graphite-covered surfaces, they evoke memory, loss, and cultural divisions, while also infusing spirituality and surrealist humor to counteract pessimism.
