Description(Native)	海報傳達文明與自然環境之間的複雜關係。蜿蜒的金屬線條象徵著漢字設計的無限可能性。透過海報的形式以當代的設計風格，來傳達佛教哲學觀和漢字文化精神，同時透過廢棄物來啟發設計靈感，讓環保和永續的重要性不斷延續，進而創造更多的影響力。探索佛教哲學中「空」的真正含義，並非否定或虛無，而是萬物緣起相依的哲學觀點。並融合當代美學視角，呈現出全新的漢字「空」之面貌。並從物質層次深入精神內涵的探索。蜿蜒的金屬線條不僅象徵著漢字設計的無限可能，更彰顯了哲學意涵與視覺設計的深刻融合，提供佛學思想與漢字文化精神的一種當代詮釋。透過視覺設計的力量啟發大眾對環境保護與永續發展的意識，進一步推廣漢字設計的文化深度與當代價值，持續帶來積極且深遠的影響。
