Nesting Plan VII Formosan Wild Boar is inspired by the nesting behavior of Taiwan's native wild boar. The work reflects the animal's instinct to build protective shelters using natural materials and to position itself with its snout facing the entrance as a form of vigilance. Made from native cedar and bamboo, the structure incorporates traditional joinery techniques along with digital design tools to create a nestlike space that visitors can enter. The curved seating orients the body toward the opening, echoing the boar's posture and encouraging interaction with the forest surroundings.
