The core concept of Hand-Heart Design Firm is "Visualizing the Invisible Value. " This concept is embodied in the vibrant and diverse "Kaohsiung Pose" design, which combines various dynamic postures with local characteristics to showcase the many different aspects of Kaohsiung, where the design was created. Using special ink for printing, the lively and dancing figures reveal representative images of local characteristics and culture when exposed to UV light at a specific wavelength of 365nm. Through the interactive process of shining a UV flashlight, one can explore and discover the unique passion and charm of Kaohsiung City, and make the intangible "Value" visible through tangible design.



The work combines scientific ink and color light technology with philosophical and metaphysical concepts to convey values. The aesthetic effects created through design and printing convey the spirit of design; in addition to discovering the core values hidden beneath the surface, it allows viewers to explore and experience the multiple facets and possibilities of design through the process of discovery.
