Open Studio with Haemee Han

Haemee Han is a public artist, landscape architect, and educator born in South Korea, with her practice based in New Jersey. She works at the intersection of sculpture and landscape, investigating how objects can operate as landscapes and how landscapes can be distilled into discrete, human-occupiable forms. Her practice centers on public space as a site of encounter, where scale, material, and narrative converge to shape collective experience.
Han is the founder of Jaemee Studio and a registered landscape architect. She holds a Master of Landscape Architecture from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Working across public art installation, garden exhibition, and built landscape projects, she creates interactive environments that invite physical engagement and social exchange.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Chaumont-sur-Loire Garden Festival in France, as well as in projects across North America, Europe, and Asia. Through formal experimentation, shifts in scale, and the reconfiguration of familiar objects, Han constructs spatial experiences that blur fiction and function, encouraging dialogue between people, place, and one another.
