SisanLee (b. 1995) Korea is a designer/artist based in Seoul. He majored in spatial design and works mainly on interior design, furniture and sculptures. He became interested in nature while attending a university surrounded by mountains and rivers and was attracted to the uniqueness of stones, that contrasts to artifacts which were made by standardized processes. He finds a point of contact in the confrontational relationship between nature and artificiality, primitivity and modernity, and incorporates it into his work. He crosses nature and cities and collects raw materials such as stones, trees, and metals around him over a long period of time. The physical properties of the collected materials are identified and used as they are to produce them in a way that allows the purity to be preserved without being destroyed. The results produced through this method have a unique individual uniqueness,distanced from objects created through the design process of the traditional industry.

<Megalith> series was started from a small stone found in nature, which is scanned and transformed into a 3D file, then expanded into the form of a massive boulder. While it appears visually heavy, it is actually made from lightweight plastic with a hollow interior. The natural contours extracted from the stone are finished with chrome plating, reflecting the surrounding environment and creating various phenomena. This works show to blur the boundaries between nature and the artificial, presenting a new perspective.
