Seo-hyeon Moon creates contemporary patchworks in her unique style while making full use of traditional techniques of Chogakbo, Korean traditional patchwork. She uses recycling scraps of silk from Hanbok, Kimono and other items for her works.

She presents her works that are closer to painting, based on the abstract patterns, compositional beauty, and sophisticated color arrangement seen in the traditional Chogakbo.

​​

You can see this in her butterfly series especially which depicts abstract patterns while expressing figurative expressions.​

​

Moon works through the labor-intensive process of hand-sewing, accumulating time with each stitch

Each hand-sewn piece is a glorious inspiration of the sensibilities, feelings, and experiences that have been inherent in her life.

In the Butterfly series, the graceful shapes, the beauty of the multicolored wings are composed of a collection of various senses and diverse shards of light that are subdivided by fine stitches. Each pattern of butterfly wings can be experienced as a rhyme of delicate sensibility and the artist's own narrative, along with the unique beauty of the composition.

Her butterflies, which seem to be fluttering gracefully at any moment, express the secret of their existence in a sophisticated visual language of life's brilliance and fragility.
