"Between Design, Technology and Man,
there is a delightful sea where I dive deep into."
- Han Lee -

"
I use a design to solve a problem between an object and a man and call someone to come over to it. I put a technology behind the design to have a passive communication with people who are always curious about inside of a pandora box. Technology gives a spirit to a designed object so that it can interact to man.
I always struggle about how my work can interact with audience and how they can enjoy it. It should be fun all the time so any children can play with it. Thankfully, I have been gifted many talents from my parents and grandparents to make it happens for creative arts and crafts and music. They give great details and make a virtual environment so that people can dive deep into the world I created. I used to use ambient sound to make it extreme such as a rainy sound. I believe rain can bring back many happy things to audience especially when I play a positive piano music under the rainy mood.

PHYSICAL WORLD X DIGITAL WORLD

"
I like to mix two worlds like a physical world and a digital world, an analog world and a digital world. In another word, it’s a touchable world and a untouchable world. In my recent work, physical objects synchronized with digital objects. Digital movements fly through your physical world and touch it so you can actually feel it. Also digital objects respond to what you did to physical objects.
-
As another material besides of design or technology, I used to use music, videography, motion graphics, etc. All my work is about mixing them and simplify it for one purpose whatever it is. And make it fun. Putting into pot and shaking them for one purpose is the most delightful part where I enjoy and I’m excited. It’s very pleasant time while creating another new taste.

TIME

"
I can’t skip to say about ‘Time’. Audience might miss it but I used to include about time into my work in different ways. Objects in some of my work move in every second. A music in some work plays in 60 or 120 bpm speed. Because tick in every second is the most comfortable speed to me. That’s 60 or 120 bpm. There is no present time and time flows like stream and no one can hold it. In my work people enjoy to see time flows.

All my talents converge on delightful, enjoyable and emotional art.
