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.

‹Side› shows the process of how an underlying substance is formed when different actions are applied on two substances containing opposing properties.
The upper part developed an artificial crack by stacking aluminum plates into three layers, while the lower part naturally developed a crack by a wooden log that had dried over time. The underlying substance, formed by artificial and natural phenomena, is combined into a single entity to create a contrast.
