Bokeum Lee (*1996, Seoul, South Korea) is an artist living in Germany and studying for a Master's degree in Photography Studies and Practice at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen. In her series “Somewhere Knitted in Blue”, she combines hand-knitted textiles with cyanotype to make memories not only visible but also tangible. The works move between clarity and blurriness - like the memories themselves, which fade, change or have an intense after-effect. Childhood motifs, family photos and everyday scenes serve as emotional anchors and the feel of the textiles evokes deeply rooted feelings. The series invites us to surrender to the fragility of memories and consciously experience their emotional resonance.
