The Design

About Wu Xing Balenie

Séria diel Wu Xing používa zvieratá ako interpretáciu a kategorizuje ich do piatich prvkov podľa ich charakteristík. Na zdôraznenie cyklu symbiózy v Wu Xing dizajnéri doplnili do každej ilustrácie východ a západ slnka, ktoré predstavujú začiatok a koniec dňa. Hlavným prvkom štruktúry je maľovacia škatuľa, ktorá evokuje pocit luxusného viazania a klasiky. Od škatuľky v tvare knihy cez rozloženie až po štruktúru balenia, ktorá sa samostatne premieňa na vystavovací stojan. V tejto špeciálnej štruktúre balenia môže byť každá karta plne vystavená.

Inspiration
This work “Wu Xing“ presents a series of works that categorize these five elements according to their characteristics, and from my own perspective to use animals as a representative interpretation. Among them, in order to emphasize the cycle of gram and symbiosis in the five elements, I added the sunrise and the sunset in each illustration, representing the beginning and the end of the day.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2021 and finished in April 2021, in Taichung City, Taiwan.
