Deandra Lee is a surrealist self-portrait photographer based in the United States, whose work explores identity, memory, and the Black experience through dreamlike, symbolic imagery. Beginning her artistic journey in childhood with an early love for photography, her practice evolved from imaginative, aesthetic explorations into a powerful reflection on history, cultural erasure, and personal experience. Deeply influenced by her identity as a Black woman in America, Deandra uses layered visuals to question dominant narratives and preserve stories that risk being forgotten. For her, art is both a personal journey and a form of resistance—a way to bear witness, challenge invisibility, and create space for reflection and truth.
