We recreate the forms of extinct Taiwanese plants through paper sculpture, guiding participants to gradually understand plant structures and further explore the stories and values carried behind them through the hands-on making process.
The originally flat package is designed to store the instruction sheet and material components, and can later be reassembled into a trapezoidal structure that transforms into a display base for the paper sculpture. The base is illustrated with the plants’ original habitats, allowing the packaging to become more than a disposable medium, but instead something that can be preserved and continuously reused.
Through the process of reconstructing these plants by hand, participants are invited to rediscover the beauty of their forms, while reflecting on the environmental significance and conservation values embedded within them through both observation and assembly.
