Seongeun Lee (b.1995) is a textile artist who explores fundamental concepts through soft sculptures made of textiles. Her artistic philosophy is to provide viewers with new visual and tactile experiences by visually expressing fundamental, invisible concepts. In particular, she focuses on the core keyword 'Existence' and delves into the existential thoughts and instinctive questions inherent in humans. Humans are beings with independent subjectivity and are the basic unit that survives and acts based on independence. "How does a human exist as a basic unit?" Humans are internally structured as an arrangement and are a part of the structure that forms a community. By understanding and embracing the concept of arrangement from this ontological perspective, humans can confront existential questions and uncover deeper meanings at the most primitive level. “Arrangement series(2023-24),” she explains human existence through the structural principle of "Arrangement," exploring the way humans are organized. Humans, through this structural principle of arrangement, internally constitute life activities and subjectivity, and are completed as a being by being placed in a certain arrangement by external forces. In this way, she visually presents fundamental existential questions, utilizing the unique materiality of textiles.
