Dopamine Dressing

In this exhibition, YehRim Lee positions colorful clay and metal sculptures on a complex structure of her own design to create a joyful, immersive environment. Inspired by the fashion trend of the same name, "Dopamine Dressing" leans into the idea that bright colors and surprising textures can create happiness by activating chemicals in the brain. Clothing designers have used this concept to battle the doldrums of the pandemic and here, artist YehRim Lee asks visitors to see how vibrancy, materiality, and expressive movement in art can have the same effect.
