I-Lann Yee is a Malaysian artist that works in various mediums of graphics, painting, and photography. Her works address and challenge issues regarding neo-colonialism, social experience, power, and historic memory. Her pieces each tell a narrative of their own that can be interpreted in many ways. Yee makes a social statement by using everyday objects, historical references, and pop culture to stand for indigenous people and those that are victims of neo-colonialism.
