Butterfly dreamSHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF VISUAL ARTS
Butterfly shaped scissors, the scissors cover is inspired by the life god “Butterfly Mother” of the Miao ethnic group in China. The upper body is a butterfly, and the lower body has a fish tail. She is the source of life and symbolizes endless vitality. The cover of the scissor handle is in the shape of butterfly wings, and the rubber cover of the scissor blade is in the shape of a fish tail. The outer packaging is made of paper, which is environmentally friendly and easy to recycle. The top of the outer packaging has a designed gap for easy hanging and sale. The paper pulp shell wraps around the scissors, symbolizing the “cocoon” of the caterpillar before it turns into a butterfly. There is a piece of cardboard on the back, and after breaking open the shell, the “butterfly mother” is born with hope.
Wishing all girls to break free from the cocoon and become butterflies like a ‘butterfly dream’, achieve their wishes, and fulfill their dreams.
