ASTROMAN
Lee Han Bi

This work captures the moment when an astronaut, stranded during a space exploration mission, arrives at a café—one of the few remaining traces of an alien civilization. Inspired by the worlds of Star Wars: Jedi and Guardians of the Galaxy, the scene blends science fiction and fantasy to create an exotic atmosphere. The setting includes a timeless bar interior, a dry riverbank devoid of human presence, and backgrounds composed of worn machinery and spaceship parts. Through these elements, the story unfolds from the perspective of the astronaut, observing the remnants of a bygone civilization. In this familiar yet unfamiliar landscape, I wanted viewers to feel as though they, too, were setting foot in a new world for the very first time—just like the astronaut.
