Why are we in a proxy war again? I mean I care that Russians are dying as well as Ukrainians. For fucking profit that's why. You can't lie to me you motherfuckers, I remember you from the Iraq war /  by Mirena Rhee

I cared when the Iraqis were dying. I have no reason to have particularly love for the Russians because their regime took everything from my family and sent my grandfather to the camps after barely escaping with his life and long suffering ensued for everyone but when I see a war that we are warring and I don't give a fucking shit about the politics of it. I actually completely changed my mind on this from a year ago, ever since I realized that the same shady cons that profited from our previous wars are in line to profit from this again.

Ask yourselves a fucking question in whose interest is this war? Europe? Hell no. It took me a year to start asking the right questions and it took me one sentence that contained the phrase cluster bombs for me to realize what's going on.

Also my phone camera is capable of the most ugliest atrocious images possible and makes the painting look like smeared poop instead of beautiful ochers and yellows. But I don't want to waste my time whipping out my nice Canon camera shooting it editing it and posting it I rather use that time painting or making rent money to be honest. So just imagine that this below ugly photograph is actually a beautiful photograph of a yellow and ocher oil background first layer basically.

Photography /  by Mirena Rhee

My first artwork was photography. Since 2005 I've been taking photographs of people, cities, objects, my own art, my drawings, paintings, installations, performances as well as other people's art paintings, sculptures, and many others.

Photography taught me how to see. Thanks to my camera and my computer I can make a photograph a perfect visual experience and make it my own. Because my computer never forgets it allows me to see the patterns in the world, the lines, the colors, and the faces. Out of these observations came the same kind of project where I categorized images along the lines of thoughts.

Until this day I photograph my own work with small exceptions.

All photographs on this website are by me, a small number of images here are not photographs but digitally generated landscapes also generated by me.
