"Together We Can" is a poignant artwork, born amidst the heartbreak and division of events in 2020. Lee reflects on the experience stating, "It just broke my heart because there was such a division." She paints with a purpose, aiming to bridge gaps and bring to life the unity that God desires among His children. She expresses, "We're not a divided group of children. We're together."
In this painting, Lee captures the strength that comes from unity. She describes the figures in the painting, "their hands are together, they're looking at each other, they're loving each other." The connection between the women symbolizes a mutual exchange of respect and understanding. Lee's vision is clear: "We need to love each other regardless of our differences." She holds a firm belief that embracing our differences makes us better, "We need each other's differences because we're better because of those differences."
"Together We Can" is Lee's visual hope for healing: a reminder that love should transcend all divisions, a call for solidarity, and an illustration of her conviction that "we need to love each other and not separate ourselves."
