The Sabah-born and based artist is a board member of Forever Sabah—a 25-year programme supporting Sabah’s transition to a diversified, equitable, circular economy—and Finas. Her work typically employs a complex, multilayered visual vocabulary drawn from historical references, popular culture, archives, and everyday objects. The artist engages with Southeast Asia’s turbulent history, addressing issues of colonialism, neo-colonialism, power, and the impact of historical memory in social experience, often with particular focus on counter-narrative histories. Yee expresses a desire to be known as an ampersand, a bridge, a conjoiner—someone who gathers people to commune together or joins one thing to another. She also champions tikar philosophies and inclusive ways of behaving and exercising power. Most recently, she participated in the “Konnect ASEAN Climate Futures #2: Cultures, Climate Crisis and Disappearing Ecologies” in partnership with the Nanyang Technological University Centre for Contemporary Art in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
