Who are we without others? As individuals we can only accomplish so much, there comes a point when we understand the importance of community. An excellent example comes from the global pandemic, where the world understood how much better we are together. Why does it take tremendous tragedy for us to realize the significance of the collective? Within his work, Lee Ellis attempts to reinforce this ethos by giving the audience a glimpse at the overwhelming power we have together.  

 

Le Fleur De Personne

A work that speaks on identity, playing on the French word “personne” which can be used for “no one” and “someone”. The eyeless figures give the viewer no insight on the emotions they are conveying while they themselves may not know what they feel.

For so long I've felt that I didn't have "enough", enough education, enough experience, enough connections, but thankfully I've started to find a way to express what I feel is important to me in my life. I know no matter what happens the things I create need to get out of me.
