Detoxification  解毒

Flowers, posture delicate, beautiful and brilliant. But did you ever think that it might be toxic? We have chosen to study a kind of flower that is beautiful, but contained lethal toxicity. Beautiful as their appearance, they are actually full of poison. However, this kind of flower can be use as traditional Chinese medicines that have great benefits to human body. They're not only toxic, but also full of medicinally properties. That's what we called "Detoxification".

花姿態嬌柔,明艷爛漫。但你能想到它體內蘊含毒素嗎?我們選擇了一群以美麗為武裝,體內卻蘊含了致命毒性的花朵作為研究對象,美麗是偽裝的外皮,內部有真槍實彈的它們,也能經過正確的步驟加以善用,製成對身體有極大益處的中藥。既有劇毒,也能製藥,因此稱之為解毒。
Based on our knowledge to Chinese medicine, we divided those flowers into two different characteristics: cold and warm. Respectively, we collected them into two booklets, which included the illustrations of toxic flowers, the original appearance of flowers and the appearance after turning it into Chinese medicine. Also, we have written down the medicinal properties of toxic flowers, medicinal properties after turning it into materials and medicinal part.

我們根據中藥常識將花朵分為寒性和溫性分別做成兩本書,採用中國古代特有的書籍排版形式龍鱗裝的方法裝訂以凸顯特色。內容包含毒花的插畫,花朵的樣貌和製成中藥後藥材的樣貌,文字部分分別有毒花的藥用特性、製成藥材後的特性、藥用部位、毒性注意事項等。
Through illustrations, if the toxic flowers are able to combine with some specific organs, it means that the flowers can cure those organs. We picked some classic and contrast color to give prominence to our theme. We couldn't find any stable Chinese packages on the market. Therefore, we tried to use cans or glasses pack the medicine. Packing different kinds of medicine into different packages, patients are able to take the medicine due to their demands.

我們通過繪製插畫的手法將毒花與每朵花治癒到的器官部位結合,表現該種毒花能夠治癒體內的幾種器官。繪製顏色採用復古色突出中藥與毒性的主題。每種花都為他們單獨繪製了它們的花朵型態和藥材型態。市面上沒有固定的中藥材包裝,因此我們嘗試用鐵罐、玻璃等容器作為包裝,將不同服用方法的藥分別裝在不同的包裝裡,讓患者能夠根據需求用藥。
