以 Kinavatjesan-排灣族刺繡為主軸紀錄工藝技法,帶入排灣族文化及排灣族刺繡圖形的聯繫,再由本小組將實體繡製工藝轉化為電腦向量圖形,以排灣族刺繡工法設計出更多樣的平面視覺,藉此宣傳排灣族工藝及文化並帶入現代人的視野,且由分析的技法新增更多樣的圖形,並以排灣族常用植物為主體,更能帶入排灣族生活文化,一是讓台灣民眾了解這些文化遺產,二是希望十字繡文化在現代及未來都還可以看的見,而本小組了解到排灣族的服飾上,較常見的圖騰象徵有象徵祖靈的人頭紋、象徵時間的太陽紋、象徵父親的百步蛇紋、象徵母親的陶壺紋,以及象徵大自然生氣的花草紋,每個圖騰背後都有它深遠的文化內容及生命意義,而 Kinavatjesan 同時也是台灣原住民服飾中,最繁複傳統的一種技術,也是排灣族最具代表性的工藝,因此本小組想保留這些文化,並加以設計創作,分享排灣族的傳統文化、生活美學給現代人。

The project focuses on recording the craft techniques of Kinavatjesan - the embroidery of the Paiwan tribe, and connecting them with Paiwan culture and embroidery patterns.
The team then transforms the physical embroidery craft into computer vector graphics to design more diverse visual designs based on Paiwan embroidery techniques.
This aims to promote Paiwan craft and culture and bring them into the modern perspective.
Additionally, the team analyzes and adds more diverse patterns, primarily using Paiwan commonly-used plants as the main subject, to bring Paiwan's life and culture into the embroidery.
The project's goals are to help Taiwanese people understand these cultural heritages and to ensure that cross-stitch culture can be seen in the present and future.
Paiwan clothing frequently features totem symbols, such as the human head pattern symbolizing ancestral spirits, the sun pattern symbolizing time, the hundred-step snake pattern symbolizing fathers, the pottery pattern symbolizing mothers, and floral patterns symbolizing anger in nature.
Each totem has profound cultural content and meaning, and Kinavatjesan is the most complex and traditional technique in Taiwanese indigenous clothing and the most representative handicraft of the Paiwan tribe.
Therefore, the team seeks to preserve these cultures, and creatively share Paiwan's traditional culture and aesthetic lifestyle with modern people.
