Sisan Lee(b.1995) explores how materials found in the surrounding environment can be expanded within new contexts. He collects a range of materials, including stone, wood, marble, and metal, and takes the inherent qualities of each material, as well as the traces left by their processes of formation, as the starting point of his work. Through sculptural methods such as casting, rearranging, enlarging, and combining, he preserves the characteristics of the materials while creating new relationships and functions. This investigation extends into sculpture, furniture, and installation.

‹Proportions of stone› series constructs objects based on the forms and proportions of stones found in nature. Unlike conventional object design, which is centered on function and standardized dimensions, the size, shape, weight, and other material conditions of collected stones become the criteria for determining the overall structure and proportion.
The stones are used in their found forms without additional processing, while the structure is designed in response to each stone’s physical conditions. The series explores how material conditions formed through natural processes can generate new relationships and roles within artificial structures.
