Janet Lee (born in Australia) lives and works in Hong Kong.  She has an MFA from RMIT University and a BA Communication from the University of Technology, Sydney. Using photography and text, she explores how we live our lives and whether it is possible to live authentically together starting with an examination of both our interior selves and our exterior social context. She also engages with the complexities of power, privilege and desire highlighting their profound influence on our capacity to create a sense of self and strive towards ideals that transcend practical limitations.
