I’m undefinedtomato(Nao Lee), graphic designer based in Seoul. I explore how images change as they travel between screen, print, and urban surfaces—tuning texture, distance, and speed to translate underground aesthetics into a public visual language.

It’s statement for all the people who are agonized by being categorized.




2. Apocryphal
printed material,
30 × 42 (cm), 2023


I selected keyword apocryphal as a theme and saw a lot of news to collect the news that seems fake or I hope to regard as fake.





16. Earthland®

 printed material,
210 × 297 (cm), 2026



Welcome to Earthland®.
Earthland® is 404, and we are floating.

6. FACES
 printed material,

After I imagined the scene when I looked at strangers, and when I opened my heart to them, I wanted to depict levinas's complete others.

8. Future of Silence (colorful ver.)

30 × 42 (cm), 2025

9. OE: WHANG ‘over the river, breath of the ruins’ (Draft ver.)
 Printed material
29.7 × 42.0(cm) 2025


I was commissioned to design the poster for a group exhibition. Drawing on the themes of heritage, river, and stone, I visualized the idea of “a river engraved in stone” by rendering a river’s course as if carved into rock. I later refined the work to better reflect the artists’ bright overall tone and to emphasize the stone’s matte, rough textures.




10. Rose Petal
 Printed material
29.7 × 42.0(cm) 2025


Exploring the fragility of time and memory through the quiet persistence of petals — a reflection on how silence can bloom.


 

11. At the Amusement Park
 Printed material
29.7 × 42.0(cm) 2025


Playing with aliens at amusement park.



12. Things that consists me
 Printed material
16.5  × 23.4(cm) 2024


The face rendered as an electronic circuit reflects a critique of today’s society, where algorithms substitute even for our sense of self. Platforms like YouTube let algorithms stand in for my taste; as I follow them, I find myself coming to prefer what they recommend, and I sense those systems tailoring my personality and preferences. This raises a question for me: to what extent can I still shape who I am by my own will?



13.  My Daily Journal

 printed material,
30 × 42 (cm), 2023


I visualized massive data of daily life journal to create calender of last year, which is ususally totally useless.



  
 

14. Curing

 printed material,
30 × 42 (cm), 2025


I did exhibition design for artist ‘Na Hye Gu’.

  

14. Everything goes around comes around

 printed material,
30 × 30 (cm), 2025


It’s poetic album cover.






15. CURING (meta.ver)

 printed material,
30 × 30 (cm), 2025


“CURING” visualizes the process of healing through digital distortion. It reflect a state that is neither damaged nor restored — but suspended in between.





15. Ten living thinfs that symbolizes longevity
 printed material,
210 × 297 (cm), 2022


I wanted to create an illustration that stylizes animals symbolizing longevity, giving them a metallic texture to reflect modern people’s desire not only for a long life but even for immortality.
