Description(English)	Our work, Whale's Death, is a hand-cranked weekly calendar that you can assemble yourself. We use time to narrate the cycle of nature. 53 stop-motion animations slowly reveal the life journey of the blue whale from birth, death to rebirth as the pages turn. Time is no longer just a function, but a writing of emotion. The Whale Handbook is a series of booklets that use illustrations to delicately present their unique appearance and habits, bringing you closer to their daily lives. Analyze the four stages of whale fall and see how whales give birth to new life through death, and reflect on the profound impact of human behavior on the ocean.
Description(Native)	我們的作品分成兩個部分。 《鯨逝》是一款可以自己組裝的手搖週曆。我們以用時間述說自然的循環，53張逐格動畫，在翻頁中緩慢揭示藍鯨從誕生、逝去到重生的全生命旅程，讓時間不再只是功能，而是一種情感的書寫。將逝去變為觀看的權利透過手搖動畫的互動，讓使用者不只是觀看死亡，更是主動推動生命過程，進而感受鯨落的新生。當翻至最後一頁，鯨魚完成牠的生命歷程，同時也象徵新一輪的循環啟動。 《鯨魚手冊》是一套系列插畫小冊子，我們有鯨探、鯨跡和鯨落3個主題。鯨探以插畫細膩呈現六種鬚鯨的獨特樣貌與習性，帶你貼近牠們神秘的生命日常。鯨跡帶你探索齒鯨與露脊鯨的棲息地分佈，揭開牠們隱身海洋的軌跡，每一頁都是一次深入的觀察旅程。鯨落解析鯨落四階段和看見鯨魚如何以死亡孕育新生，也反思人類行為對海洋未來的深遠影響。包裝是以四層包裝像是打開一個驚喜盒！裏面展示精美週曆插畫與結構、系列手冊盒內還有組裝教程，讓你親手參與這場新生鯨逝的循環。周邊是四款描繪鯨落中獨特的深海場景與鯨魚特寫的明信片和每一張取自鯨逝動畫中的關鍵瞬間，如同記憶進入書頁的書籤。整體來說，我們希望這次的創作能讓大家看到鯨魚不只是壯觀的生物，它們其實很脆弱，也很值得我們去保護。我們相信，當人們真正認識鯨魚，會更願意一起保護這片海洋。

Judging Comments	Whale’s Death is a hand-cranked weekly calendar where time unfolds as a story of nature. Through 53 stop-motion animations, it traces the blue whale’s journey from birth to death and rebirth. Accompanied by The Whale Handbook, which illustrates their appearance and habits, the project also explores the four stages of whale fall—showing how death nurtures new life while reflecting on humanity’s impact on the ocean. Its poetic fusion of design, ecology, and storytelling earned high praise for depth and originality.
