The sculptor Lee Jae-hoo (#LeeJaehyo) from South Korea has been making Land Art sculptures for over 20 years. In his work, the sculptor refuses to use expensive and rare varieties of wood in favor of branches of fallen trees. Focusing on sharpened and visually pleasing shapes, the sculptor is able to transform solid tree trunks and their massive branches into ideal spheres, pillars and monolithic interior objects.
