The cyber ‘human bunny’ TOKI has featured in Hye Rim Lee’s art for over 20 years. Here she moves through two contrasting dreamscapes: worlds of darkness and light.
Diamonds and roses are central in both artworks. Diamonds symbolise creation, eternity and strength, while the rose reflects love and beauty.
Watch TOKI as she transforms through grief, hope and healing into the Rose Queen.
