PRESS RELEASE Auburn Community Center Gallery Hae Chon Lee Contact: Allison Hyde, Arts Program Supervisor 253-931-5100 arts@auburnwa.gov<mailto:arts@auburnwa.gov> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 11th, 2025 ___________ The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Hae Chon Lee at the Community Center Gallery, on view July 10th - September 4th, 2025. Artwork Statement: Even though time and place can separate us from others, human connections are never broken. The past, especially when remembered with love, can be brought to the present. Ancestors, for example, are not far or gone; They remain a part of our life today. When we care about those people and remember those who came before us, we make a place for them in our daily lives. This connection helps us retain their presence with us. In this sense, our life is beyond our own years. The boundaries between the past, present and the future begin to blur and we understand that our existence is more than just us - it is something eternal. * Hae Chon Lee [A person wearing a hat Description automatically generated with medium confidence] "Bonds Unveiled: Echoes Through Time," Hae Chon Lee, 2024 Community Center Gallery, Auburn Community & Event Center, 910 Ninth Street SE, Auburn, WA 98002 The gallery is viewable Mon-Fri 7-8 and Sat 8-4. ____________________________________________________________________________ This art installation is coordinated through the City of Auburn, Parks, Arts & Recreation Department and with the support of the Auburn Arts Commission.
