Sisan Lee (b. 1995) explores the sculptural possibilities that emerge at the intersection of different times and environments. Drawing on experiences shaped between urban and rural landscapes, as well as the structural thinking developed through spatial design, his work investigates how modernity and primitivism, nature and industry, continuity and change can coexist within a single form. This exploration extends across furniture, objects, and spatial works.

Casted Aluminum with Broken Marble
W 33.5 × D 28 × H 45 (cm)
2026
This project was developed in collaboration with Total Marble, a marble brand, using discarded marble fragments that were damaged and rendered unusable during the manufacturing process. The irregular fragments are rearranged according to their unique forms, shaped by the chance of breakage. Molten aluminum is then poured into the gaps between the fragments, gradually solidifying to form a unified, slab-like structure.
Although marble fragments and aluminum possess distinct physical properties, the aluminum serves as a key structural element, connecting and supporting the fragments as it fills the spaces between them. While retaining their individual characteristics, the two materials support and complement one another, coming together to form a unified sculptural whole.
