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

‹Proportions of stone› is a modeling experiment on the fundamentality of stone cast away by natural phenomena. Consisting of tables, chairs, and other functional furniture pieces, the dimensions of each piece were determined by the stones borrowed from nature.
The shapes and functions of the designs were only formed after. Stones mounted on manufactured steel plates play both structural and aesthetic roles. These juxtaposed mediums are opposite, yet balanced - fulfilling the artist's desire to "balance the relationship between nature and artifact."
