Lee's dioramic works are often meant as loose representations of her childhood and adolescence, to which a Real Fine Arts gallerist adds that the booth is meant as a 'life-size version of her dioramas', solidifying the idea that the booth is effectively an aesthetic exploration of Lee's personal life, shared with the massive Art Basel audience.
