Sisan Lee (b.1995) explores the boundary where nature and the artificial meet. Moving between urban and natural environments, he reflects the structural order of industry and the sensory experiences of nature in his work. Collecting materials such as stone, wood, and metal from natural and industrial contexts, he examines the relational tension between their contrasting qualities through sculptural experimentation, narrowing or widening the gap between them. These inquiries manifest in forms spanning space, furniture, and sculpture, constructing scenes in which industrial order coexists with the imperfections of nature

Lee combines marble, formed over a long period in nature through heat and pressure, with aluminum, an industrial material. He integrates the confrontational properties of marble and aluminum into one piece using the terrazzo technique, thereby exploring the relationship between these two different materials. Through the heterogeneous textures resulting from the differences in materials and the ease with which these two materials come together due to their distinct physical characteristics, he seeks to convey a harmony within the discord between nature and artificiality.
