關於作品

神話一直都存在我們的生活之中，它豐富我們的日常生活和想像力，從書籍、繪畫、音樂、文學，甚至到電影，都可以看見以神話為題材或參考的作品。因此神話可以說是和民眾的生活息息相關。在神話類別中，以創世神話最為重要，因為它敘述了原始先民最初對世界和人類起源的過程的想像；反映原始先民對萬物生成、人類起源、日月星辰的認識和探索，是世界的開端。

但現今社會的進步與繁榮，人類所接受的資訊越來越多，導致吸收的訊息有限之外，更影響了人類傾向接收有趣、多元性、富有吸引力的內容。創世神話本身探討的是萬物的起源，故事性相對於其他類別神話相對較低之外，很多民族的創世神話記載多為片段式，文獻也較為不完整以致於漸漸不被民眾所注意。

本作品以敘事設計方法論來整理並分析創世神話，找出神話的中可以吸引觀者的元素及提升故事性，呈現媒介為資訊設計（Information design）的分支資訊圖像（Information graphics），透過圖文並茂且容易理解的方式，探討如何有效能的把創世神話的內容和內涵傳達給社會大眾。
