8 hours: starting the day having a quick bite in the neighborhood coffee before heading to the local food market to pick up the fresh ingredients of the day.

often taken for granted, wasted, and valued only for the sketches and words that are written on top, paper is in fact the meeting ground of multiple temporalities and geographies.

the raw materials of paper are sourced and worked over to make a surface that becomes the ground on which human marks—some made with intent, others made on a whim—appear and interact with light, an audience,

Despite focusing on cuisine on the other side of the world, Esu sees the city of Paris as a source of inspiration. He enjoys being an outsider, observing and
learning from everyday life, most especially in the markets and among the vendors.
“Old people’s advice from the local markets are better than YouTube,”

Despite having spent significant time working abroad, away from his hometown Seoul, Esu’s cuisine is mainly focusing on simple, fresh Korean inspired fusion dishes.

Hanging on the wall were a watch to remind him of the importance of punctuality and an electrocardiograph to remind him of his heart.

Together, they represent the value of time and how it should be spent on work that holds meaning for him.

Our last installment of the 8-hour series this season was spent with chef Esu Lee in Paris.

Our day began in Esu’s home, where he began his day with a coffee.

the night culminated in one of their favorite activities: playing pool. portland may be rainy most of the year, but, as bryan puts it, “it’s also the reason why this place is so vibrant and beautiful. everything thrives here.”
