Winner of a National YoungArts Award and published in The New York Times, Vogue Italia, and a W.W. Norton Anthology, ‘Til the Day Breaks follows an African American teenager grappling with a rise in police violence, his father’s cancer, the complexity of interpersonal relationships, and false notions of black masculinity amidst a raging pandemic. With the intention of crafting documentary images in the style of fine art photographs, Lee’s series serves as a testament to the power of being seen.
