On the Korean Peninsula, there is a zone DMZ that has not been touched by humans for 65 years. Since there is no human activity in this area, endangered plants are living well without hindrance. It metaphorically expresses nature that comes to life when human activity decreases, and proposes an eco-friendly light bulb package that can inform them. It is an eco-friendly paper and has an assembly type structure that does not use adhesives. It can be used as a lighting case by reassembling the package, and the strap can be adjusted so that it can be hung or carried. Consumers directly attached the petal pieces, which are part of the package, to the inner side to create an interaction between the package and the consumer, and through this behavior, the shape of the flower unfolding appears as a shadow when the light is turned on. If we practice eco-friendliness, we can see the nature of our DMZ, which hid from humans through the light, late at night when everyone stopped working.
