Her work is held in several private collections as well as in the MoMA Library & Research Collection. Rhee's work primarily explores the body as a cosmic form and being. Drawing and choreography are her main media, while she also creates metal sculptures, installations, olfactive and textile work (usually to support performative work). Her practice creates relationships between body-space, the senses & biology/ecosystem. Her studio, Atelier de Geste, is based in New York City.
