Roxy Lee YY / The Stages of Finding

Roxy Lee’s first solo exhibition in Berlin, The Stages of Finding, tells universal stories of searching for identity and belonging through a deeply personal lens, using sculptures and analogue photography.

The exhibition spans works from recent years, alongside new pieces debuting in this show. It reflects Roxy’s journey across cities and cultures, from Hong Kong to London and now Berlin.

Her abstract ceramic wall sculptures in the main room give form to the emotional responses of relocation, with each piece shaped by a different phase of self-reflection and the shifting experience of entering a new environment. The colours and goosebump-like textures, achieved through multiple layers of spray glazing, invite viewers into these sensory responses. Each work records a moment in the ongoing process of self-discovery.

With the addition of analogue photography, Roxy expands her visual language, guiding viewers from the tactile, abstract qualities of sculpture into quiet, observational images captured in the cities she has called home. Through film, she explores atmosphere, memory, and the fleeting details of everyday life that subtly shape our sense of self.

Together, the works create an introspective landscape shaped by movement, observation, and the constant search for a place to belong. The Stages of Finding invites viewers into a space of emotional resonance, where personal narratives open onto shared themes of identity, transition, and transformation.
