Jihan Lee

VNV Rising Star


Jihan is keen to scrutinize the delicate ties between individuals and the systems they have designed. He strives to raise awareness and drive action, asking us to step back from the compulsion to overpower and confine, and see ourselves as the caretakers of this beautiful planet instead. His works probe the contradictory nature of care and the realities of healing from open wounds. Guided by a passion for environmental ethics and sustainable design, his imagery serves as a clarion call, sparking frank conversations about how we live and how our choices today ultimately define Mother Earth’s tomorrow. Jihan’s vision is critical yet optimistic, grounded in a conviction that creativity can inspire us to refashion a more responsible union with the living world.
