Mike Lee’s latest exhibition reimagines the American Dream through his Korean-American lens, exploring how family, labor, and identity converge. His father—symbolized as an American-made car—embodies endurance and survival, while his mother grounds the work in care and stability. Echoing Robert Frank’s The Americans, Lee offers both distance and intimacy, revealing how rising economic pressures render this dream increasingly out of reach. The show becomes a poignant tribute to his parents and a meditation on inheritance and resilience.
