Anne Tee

Presence through absence.

In my work, I explore the idea that the artist is no longer the source of meaning—that creation is not an act of authorship but of perception. All my pieces are intentionally anonymous and constructed, not captured. There is no “real” subject, no origin, only a visual artifact waiting to be filled with thought.

The photos serve as a proxy for the viewer’s inner world. The identity is irrelevant; what matters is what the artwork becomes in your mind. My work obscure more than they reveal, mirroring how we see not what *is*, but what we project.

My practice is rooted in the belief that life and art do not emerge from bodies or biographies, but from thought.

In removing myself as the creator and presenting work born from generative processes, I invite the viewer to confront the strange truth: that meaning only exists because you are looking for it.
