空熄

當文化遭戰火吞噬，我們如何守護記憶，讓文化被看見？本設計透過「點燃、燃燒、熄滅」，重現空襲過程，讓人們直視歷史傷痕，反思和平的珍貴。

二戰期間，美軍對日本統治下的台灣發動了長達六個月的空襲。基隆郵便局與其他地標在轟炸中遭到摧毀，許多歷史記憶也隨之埋沒。

《空熄》透過空襲的三個階段—點燃（Ignite）、燃燒（Burn）與熄滅（Extinguish）— 重新喚起這些過往。

AN-M69 燃燒彈造型火柴盒 – 點燃
AN-M69 燃燒彈內含 38 顆子彈，因此這款火柴盒內含 37 根黑色火柴與 1 根白色火柴。根據研究，基隆遭受空襲共計 37 天，每一根黑色火柴象徵一天的轟炸，而唯一的白色火柴則代表戰爭結束，迎來和平。

空襲燭台 – 燃燒
當燭火閃爍，光影映照在玻璃上，浮現出基隆空襲的場景，將塵封的歷史再度帶回人們的視野。

郵便局燭台 – 熄滅
基隆郵局曾經標誌性的圓頂在轟炸中被毀，這款燭台透過重現其輪廓，呈現破壞與重建並存的意象。

包裝採用 Furoshiki（風呂敷）式包裝設計，重現戰時包裹的外觀，讓觀者在拆開的瞬間彷彿回到基隆空襲的混亂之中。

《空熄》透過火與光，講述基隆從毀滅走向復甦的歷程，提醒我們記住歷史、反思過往，並珍惜和平。

Echoes of Ash

Echoes of Ash

When culture is consumed by the ravages of war, how do we safeguard memory and make culture visible? This design reenacts the air raid process through "ignition, burning, and extinction," reconstructing this experience and inviting people to confront the wounds of history while reflecting on the value of peace.

During World War II, U.S. air raids relentlessly bombarded Japanese-ruled Taiwan for six months. Keelung Post Office and other landmarks were devastated, and with them, countless fragments of history faded into obscurity. Echoes of Ash revives these memories through three stages of an air raid: Ignite, Burn, and Extinguish.

AN-M69 Incendiary Bomb Matchbox – Ignite
The AN-M69 incendiary bomb carried 38 bomblets, so this matchbox contains 37 black matches and one white match. According to research, Keelung was bombed for 37 days. Each black match represents a day of destruction, while the lone white match symbolizes the war’s end and the arrival of peace.

Air Raid Candle – Burn
As the candle flickers, its firelight casts shadows onto the glass, revealing haunting scenes from the Keelung air raids and bringing long-buried history back into the light.

Post Office Candle Holder – Extinguish
The once-iconic dome of Keelung Post Office was destroyed in the bombings. This candle holder restores its silhouette, symbolizing both destruction and the resilience of rebuilding.

Wrapped in cloth using traditional Japanese techniques, the design resembles a wartime parcel, drawing the viewer into the chaos of the Keelung air raids the moment it is unwrapped. Through fire and light, Echoes of Ash narrates Keelung’s transformation from devastation to renewal, urging us to remember history, reflect on its impact, and cherish the fragility of peace.
