好好告別

本作品從傳統喪葬儀式對環境所造成的負擔出發，反思人們在面對告別時，為何長期依賴焚燒與形式化儀式。透過立體書的沈浸式設計，將既有儀式流程轉譯為可被書寫、回憶與選擇的情感表達形式，引導使用者重新理解儀式背後所承載的文化意義與心理需求，並嘗試以更貼近自身價值的方式與世界道別。我們相信，當情感得以在生前被安放與梳理，對既有儀式的依賴將逐漸轉化，環保也將不再是被動遵守的規範，而成為自然而然的選擇。
在象徵上，本作品以蝴蝶作為主題意象。蝴蝶由毛毛蟲蛻變而成，象徵靈魂超脫肉體、進入另一種存在的過程；同時，在墨西哥亡靈節文化中，帝王斑蝶被視為亡靈歸來的化身，具備穿梭於黑暗與光明之間的意涵。透過此象徵，本作品進一步強化對生命轉化與告別意義的詮釋。

Good Bye

This project reflects on the environmental burden of traditional funeral practices, questioning the reliance on burning and formalized rituals in the face of farewell. Through an immersive pop-up book, conventional ceremonies are reinterpreted as forms of emotional expression that can be written, remembered, and personally chosen. It guides users to reconsider the cultural meanings and psychological needs behind rituals, and to explore ways of saying goodbye that align more closely with their own values. We believe that when emotions are acknowledged in advance, dependence on rituals can transform, allowing sustainable choices to emerge naturally.

The butterfly serves as the central symbol, representing the soul’s transformation from body to another state of existence. In Mexico’s Day of the Dead, monarch butterflies are seen as returning spirits, symbolizing movement between darkness and light, further enriching the project’s reflection on life and farewell.
