Designed using Isadora and found videos, 26 Conceptions is an interactive art performance that invites participants to pick from a selection of 26 video clips to be projected onto the pregnant abdomen of the performer. Participants manipulate how the pregnant body is viewed by choosing to discover a variety of video clips ranging from whimsical to grotesque. At the same time, the performer designed the framework for participation, raising questions about power dynamics and freedom of choice. What emotions do certain videos elicit when set against the pregnant body? Who is responsible for these “conceptions”? 

This solo performance showed for one night only at the McGuffey Art Center.

An internet influencer breaks down in this performance series that confronts how consumer culture in virtual spaces impacts identity. Influenced by Legacy Russell's manifesto, Glitch Feminism, Lee glitches between speech, video projection, and movement, interrupting the audience's consumption of the performance. Lee asks, "What are you like in real life?", in hopes of bringing awareness to our behaviors on and offline as an initiation to transcend the body. The series took place at three festivals: My First Q&A! premiered at Area Choreographers Festival, My First Q&A! Reboot premiered at Midwest Regional Alternative Dance Festival, and My First Q&A! System Crash premiered at OhioDance Festival. These works feature music by Swedish sound artist, Emil Göthberg.

This durational performance installation premiered at The Magalen in Cleveland, OH as part of the performance series, dotdotdot: INDULGENCE. This work used a screen made of mylar material to create a one-way mirror where the viewer/s can see Lee, but Lee cannot see the viewer/s. Asking, "Is anyone there?", Lee keeps a tally on a white board of how many people engage with her throughout 2 hours while she does her makeup, glitches between hashtags and climate change news headlines, and tears through the screen, thus ending the performance.
