about

Ree’s practice emerges from a deep inquiry into the intersections of art, healing, and the spiritual technologies embedded in both ancient traditions and contemporary psychological frameworks. With a background shaped by strict religious structures and a subsequent journey through uncharted landscapes of freedom, rupture, and reclamation, she approaches artmaking as a space of ongoing transformation—personal, collective, and metaphysical.

Drawing on research across somatic psychology, trauma studies, mystical systems such as Kabbalah and Hermeticism, and ritual practices both well-known and obscure, her work serves as a kind of living archive—an evolving investigation into how humans, across time and culture, have accessed healing, meaning, and connection. This is not an attempt to recreate or appropriate the past, but to respectfully sift through its remnants, ask critical questions, and trace threads of resonance back to the present.

Central to Ree’s inquiry is a belief that spirituality is not ornamental, but essential—that it has always been entangled with mental and emotional well-being. In the wake of modern disconnection, Ree creates portals—material, ephemeral, experiential—through which viewers are gently invited to reencounter the sacred as a felt, embodied phenomenon. These gestures are less about answers and more about re-opening the questions: What does it mean to be well? What does it mean to be connected? How might shared moments of ritual or aesthetic intensity reorient our sense of self, of time, of each other?

Rather than positioning art as separate from life, Ree works within a framework that sees creative practice as part of a wider ecology of care, inquiry, and resistance. The works function as quiet interventions in the often over-intellectualized and exclusionary systems of contemporary art—spaces where complexity is welcome, but intimacy is not. In this, Ree moves toward a vision of art that is permeable, relational, and alive—where the possibility of collective emotional healing might become a foundation for deeper solidarity and spiritual reawakening.
