For Byun, sewing is more than just representing women's life experience in the traditional gender division of labor.
Her art transcends feminism, praising those who sacrificed their talents to support others, recording the sorrow of those talents wasted, and praying earnestly for seeing the recovery of the lost.
Byun's works give meaning to the bits and pieces of daily life, and present them to us calmly and meticulously like praying.

I visually express language by repeatedly writing “Mother”, which is the most beautiful word in the world.
The act of writing calls to mind the place where lives begin, reflects the world of unconditional, infinite love through the symbolism of red and blue. The repetition also visualizes the passage of time throughout life.
