Focusing on the often-overlooked phenomenon of plant galls, this project selects eight native or commonly found Taiwanese plants as its medium. Through thermochromic panels and frosted model boxes, it simulates the process of “from hidden to revealed.” By means of interactive design, it reduces the gap in ecological understanding, allowing hidden microscopic structures in everyday life to be seen again. The project presents the specificity, diversity, and formation processes of galls, while encouraging viewers to slow down in a fast-paced world, reobserve nature, and rebuild the connection between humans and the microscopic ecosystem.
