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

‹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.
