"From the forest, for the forest." This two-volume pop-up book set chronicles the epic history of Taiwan’s cypress trees across a sweeping timeline. Through the eyes of tree doctors and researchers, readers confront the modern threats to their survival, while exploring the future of cypress restoration and the Leave No Trace (LNT) philosophy.
By restructuring the majesty of these ancient giants through multi-sensory experiences and intricate paper engineering, this project—complete with a magnificent pop-up tree card and botanical fragrance cards—transforms our "natural heritage" into a "cultural memory." As readers turn each page, the millennium-old genetic legacy of the forest resonates with the contemporary world, inspiring us to safeguard Taiwan's most precious green treasure.
