Korean fiber artist Lee Chunghie is internationally renowned for her innovative designs inspired by traditional bojagi. In this work, Lee overlays rectangles of different colors of translucent silk for a beautiful effect, and leaves the threads hanging to enhance the three-dimensionality of her work.
