This project brings together Indigenous artisans of Taitung—including the Amis, Paiwan, Bunun, Puyuma, Rukai, Tao, and Kavalan—to collect and reinterpret floral embroidery traditions found across the region.

More than a continuation of cultural heritage, it unfolds as a craft movement rooted in Taitung—evoking a contemporary artistic language grounded in local origins. Through floral motifs, it expresses the colors, symbols, and cultural identities of place, while reflecting the inclusivity of Austronesian heritage and the diversity of its peoples.
