Clarine Lee (이서현) is a Korean artist and photographer based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with minors in Photography and Innovation & Entrepreneurship. She previously worked as the Digital Photography and Printmaking Manager at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Art, and is currently an MFA candidate at the Yale School of Art.

Lee’s work frequently explores themes of illegibility, fragmentation, and the ephemerality of memory. Through acts of removal—whether by reducing legibility or distilling memories—she emphasizes the impermanence inherent in all things and the importance of attempting their partial preservation. Each of her works seeks to create conversations between the tangible and the fleeting, highlighting the fragility and rarity embedded within what is often overlooked. Her practice centers on print media, textiles, photography, and book design.

Lee has recently started an independent publishing initiative project called sadari press. sadari press is an artist-run project dedicated to making artworks more accessible and widely available.
