Wan Lei Nah

Wan Lei Nah is a 2024 lithograph whose title appears to be a phonetic transliteration, possibly of a Korean or Asian food brand name rendered in English spelling, or a personal name. Nam's lithographs from this period continue her examination of consumer objects and their packaging as carriers of cross-cultural meaning. The still-life categorization suggests the work depicts an object — likely a packaged food product — presented in isolation or simple arrangement. Lithography's tonal range allows Nam to render printed label designs, typography, and surface textures with accuracy while the handcraft of the printing process introduces a reflective distance from the mechanically produced originals depicted.
