2011 - Ongoing

The Luck Project came out of a desire to understand what it is about human nature that compels us to try to control that which is out of our grasp, namely luck (good or bad). In melding the superstitions learned in the various cultures and places Lizzie Wee has lived in, this project examines different superstitions and the tension between gestures and symbols which only hold meaning to those in the know.
