Through this exhibition, Shin invites viewers to slow down and encounter a space where material, memory, and time are held in quiet balance.
Through hand-stitching and brushwork, each piece carries subtle varitation, marking it truly one of a kind.

Mosi Moon Jar
DIFFUSER SET
ELOREA x ARTBO Collaboration
Limited Edition - 40 pieces
Mosi Moon Jar is a limited edition collaboration between ELOREA and Yejin Shin, reimagining the Korean moon jar in traditional mosi, a Korean ramie fabric. Long admired for its quiet balance, the moon jar is valued not for perfect symmetry, but for the gentle asymmetry shaped by the maker’s hand.
When placed over ELOREA’s diffuser solution bottle, the flat textile softly forms into volume, taking on a sculptural presence. Moving beyond function, the piece becomes both vessel and object. Through this collaboration, traditional material, contemporary craft, and scent come together in quiet dialogue, reinterpreting the legacy of the moon jar for the present moment. Available exclusively at our NY and LA stores.
