néo-artéfacts
Ceramic relics that explore the intersection of material, place, and spirit. Each work is handcrafted by Harry Lee and ceremonially blessed with holy water gathered from temples and sacred landscapes worldwide. Through this ritual process, the objects become vessels—artifacts that channel the memory, energy, and presence of the landscapes from which they emerge.

《牡蠣》OYSTERS series
Inspired by the Hokusai Manga, Lee explores the ambiguous boundary between “rock” and “oyster.” Rather than mere imitation, Lee extracts the “soul data” of the organism—its growth tectonics and rhythmic vitality. Using line-drawing to sculpt three-dimensionality, Lee transforms clay into a micro-ecology. To the artist, an oyster is not just a biological form, but a miniature landscape painting capturing the pulse of nature.
