A Tree

Element Lee explores the relationship between humans, technology, and nature. He creates pixel drawings with mobile phones and expands them to physical media like laser, robotic drawing, and 3D printing.

"My aesthetic foundation draws from two primary sources. One is classical Chinese drawings depicting gardens and architecture. The other is pixel art from retro computer games. I was exposed to both growing up in China: one represents tradition and the past, while the other symbolizes digital innovation and the future. This blend evokes feelings of nostalgia while also sparking thoughts about future possibilities."
