This series draws inspiration from the 24 solar terms of the traditional lunisolar calendar, reimagined through the lens of Taiwan’s rich biodiversity. Each piece serves as a visual narrative—part ecological record, part poetic expression—capturing the subtle shifts in seasons through the intertwined lives of native flora and fauna. Employing a hybrid of illustration techniques and textured layering, the works evoke a tactile, almost visceral sense of nature’s rhythms. Informational typography weaves through the compositions, offering viewers contextual insights into the solar terms and species portrayed. The overall design seeks to harmonize scientific observation with artistic sensibility, transforming time into a visual journey and celebrating the symbiotic relationship between seasonal change and ecological presence. In doing so, the series redefines the solar terms not merely as agricultural markers but as living cultural memories and visual expressions of environmental wisdom.
