"Field of Fragments" marks Lee's first exhibition focused on sand as material system. Two sculptural series anchor the show: "Fragments" (ongoing edition, 100-500x enlarged) and "Fragments Proximity" (ongoing series, ~1000x enlarged). Sand paintings incorporate grains collected from six continents. Each sculpture begins with a single grain scanned via Zeiss X-ray microscopy. The nano-CT process captures surface topology and internal density variations at micron resolution. Lee selects grains for their detritus qualities-evidence of transport, erosion, mineral content. The enlarged grains reveal their histories: angular fragments from recent fracture, rounded forms from millennia of water transport, pitted surfaces from chemical weathering. Sand's dual nature emerges-ubiquitous yet depleting, microscopic yet monumental when scaled.
