蛇麼

《蛇麼》臺灣保育類無毒蛇種印花設計

臺灣自然生態豐富，大眾對蛇並不陌生。但目前相關文宣多以有毒蛇種為主，導致一般大眾普遍對蛇的認知主要以毒蛇較為深刻，相對的對無毒蛇較為陌生。大眾大多抱着寧殺勿留的想法，若在民宅或生態旅遊時偶遇蛇類，不少會因生態認知不足，作出不當處理，令蛇類數目銳減。正如生態保護區蛇類被路殺等新聞不斷。
此外，過度捕殺、氣候變遷、棲息地被入侵、人類活動移轉、人性貪婪等諸多挑戰，皆導致蛇類數量銳減，生態系統失衡，目前臺灣己有十五種蛇類面臨危機，瀕臨絕種，有的更是臺灣特有種。
本創作除了呼籲保護瀕臨絕種蛇類、科普蛇類知識外，亦將揭開蛇紋神秘而美麗的面紗，以大眾有機會在生活中遇到的六種保育類黃頜蛇科無毒蛇種為主題，包括： 金絲蛇、赤腹游蛇、高砂蛇、黑眉錦蛇、草花蛇及斯文豪氏游蛇，透過其自身紋路轉換成動物印花設計，應用在時裝配件上，並為其製作具收藏、展示性的包裝及品牌識別系統。使大眾對時裝配件產生連結，更能了解蛇類生態意義與價值，保護地球的生物多樣性、健全生態環境。

Taiwan Speckled Band Pattern Design

"What's Snake" Taiwan Speckled Band Pattern Design

Taiwan is abundant in natural resources. Snakes are one of the common species in daily life. However, most of the relevant literature and propaganda currently focus on venomous snake species. As a result, the public generally has a deeper understanding of snakes, with venomous snakes being relatively unfamiliar, while non-venomous snakes are relatively unfamiliar. Most of the public prefers to kill rather than keep snakes. If they encounter snakes in private homes or during eco-tourism, many will handle them inappropriately due to insufficient ecological awareness, leading to a sharp decline in the number of snakes. Just as there is constant news about snakes being killed on the road in ecological reserves.
Moreover, due to overhunting, climate change, habitat invasion, human migration, and human greed, snake species gradually decline in Taiwan. Even cause an imbalance in the ecosystem. Currently, there are 15 snake species on the verge of extinction, including species endemic to Taiwan.
In addition to calling for the protection of endangered snakes and popularizing snake knowledge and prevention measures for encountering snakes. This project will also unveil the mystery and beauty of snakeskin patterns by introducing six kinds of protected Colubridae non-venomous snake species that the public may encounter in life. These species are the Amphiesma miyajimae, Sinonatrix annularis, Elaphe mandarina, Elaphe taeniura, Xenochrophis piscator, and Rhabdophis swinhonis. This project converts these species' patterns into animal print designs and applies them to fashion accessories. Designing collectible and displayable packaging and brand identification systems for those fashion accessories. Hoping that will help connect people and the ecosystem through the perception of converted animal print designs aimed at helping people overcome their fear of snakes, promoting the ecological significance and value of snakes, protecting the Earth's biodiversity, and improving the ecological environment.
