About Wu Xing Empaque
La serie de trabajos Wu Xing utiliza animales como interpretación y los categoriza en cinco elementos según sus características. Entre ellos, para enfatizar el ciclo de simbiosis en Wu Xing, los diseñadores añadieron el amanecer y el atardecer en cada ilustración, representando el inicio y el final del día. La caja de pintura es el desarrollo principal de la estructura, mostrando un sentido de edición de lujo y clasicismo. Desde la caja con forma de libro hasta su despliegue en la estructura de empaque que se convierte independientemente en un exhibidor. En esta estructura de empaque especial, cada tarjeta puede exhibirse completamente.
