• Taehoon’s delicate pieces translate light and nature’s energy into glass
• He aims to capture the fluidity of glass and its many contradictions in his pieces
• His pieces feature layered colours and flowing forms

Taehoon Lee is a glass artist whose practice unfolds at the intersection of material, light and time. Trained in one of South Korea’s only university programmes dedicated to glass, he refined his skills through museum studios, independent workshops and formative mentorships that shaped both his technique and approach to studio practice. Taehoon’s practice centres on the dual nature of glass, at once solid and fluid, transparent and translucent, as he embraces the tension between control and unpredictability. Rather than depicting nature, he translates its rhythms into flowing linear forms, capturing traces of movement, memory and atmosphere. “My work invites viewers into a perceptual space where, through layered colour and diffused light, the visible and invisible quietly converge,” he says.
