Lee Paje once again takes inspiration from children’s books, this time using as nucleus popular tales from Disney and recreating these into alternate configurations.

Entitled Unexpurgated, this is a continuation of her work in the 2013 group show Childhood Games People Play in Singapore. Through paper sculptures and oil on copper paintings, Paje reworks heteronormative narratives to personally fit her own experiences. Familiar Disney characters are used to shed light on the complexity of gender as well as contemporary lifestyles rarely visible in popular media. The goal is to hopefully transform the audience by fostering respect and understanding about the nuances of identity.
