Lee (lee.postreal) is a contemporary digital artist blending the worlds of haute couture, computer science, and generative technology. After transitioning from a technical background to earn a fashion design degree from The Art Institute of Philadelphia, she gained invaluable industry insight working behind the scenes with legendary designers like Oscar de la Renta and Anna Sui. Today, she utilizes AI to construct dark, non-linear allegorical narratives inspired by folklore, both reimagining classic fairy tales and drafting her own original legends. Her adult-oriented, high-fashion visual stories explore deep psychological themes, merging technical precision with avant-garde aesthetic expression.

Lee’s artistic practice is rooted in the creation of adult-oriented, non-linear visual fairy tales that bridge folklore with the structural precision of high fashion and technology. For Lee, a fairy tale is not an innocent children’s story, but a psychological tool—a mirror uncovering human vices, emotional undercurrents, and contemporary isolation.

Visually driven by an uncompromising obsession with aesthetics, her work approaches each narrative as an avant-garde runway, experimenting with intricate couture costuming, structural jewelry, and theatrical makeup. To bring these inner worlds to life, she explores various digital techniques, which often include blending 2D illustration with 3D graphics and utilizing cutting-edge generative AI tools.

This specific technical friction creates a surreal dissonance: the viewer’s mind is suspended in a space that feels intimately real yet entirely impossible. Ultimately, whether a narrative emerges from light or shadows, Lee's goal remains to submerge the viewer into an immersive sensory experience, prompting them to look past the surface and confront the deeper complexities of human nature.
