【Introduction of Labels】
《垂直系統已關閉》
在這裡生活的人彼此看得見，卻不一定能走到對方所在的樓層。
其實「樓層」並不是個合適的稱呼，但大家都習慣了，只有耆老還記得這個名詞曾經代表的模樣。
沒有牆，也沒有地板，只有不斷延伸的結構與連接橋，像是被刻意裝錯的建築模型。
垂直移動的裝置早已停止運作，還沒損壞的，只有從「天井」外照進來的那盞人造光。
這不是廢墟，還不是，只是尚未找到屬於自己的秩序。
【Introduction of Artist】
Steve McDonald 加拿大插畫家
Steve Mcdonald is a widely recognized Canadian illustrator. His work has taken many forms over the years but he is best known for his highly detailed line drawings and fantastical illustrations of both architecture and landscapes. He is an international best-selling author and illustrator with his coloring book series from Chronicle Books. Recently he produced four new sketch books with Field Notes as their spring 2023 editions. A few past notable clients include Architectural Digest, Blueman Group, Amazon Prime, Entertainment Weekly, and The Atlantic.
To classify Steve's work one should look at his influences: Moebius, Terry Gilliam, Luc Besson, Imperial Boy, Hayao Miyazaki, Roger Dean, Noriyoshi Ohrai, Looney Tunes, and then painters like the Canadian Group of Seven, N.C. Wyeth, Norman Rockwell, and Frank Frazetta. His new work could be best described as 'escapist fantastical realism'. Steve believes almost all approaches and tools are legitimate as long as the work you are producing is striving to be singular and unique. He also believes in having fun and hopefully making you smile! Steve was educated at The Ontario College of Art and Design. He was born in Toronto, Canada and has lived in India, Indonesia, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Canada. He has two grown daughters and a wonderful partner and presently lives in rural Ontario.

Tasting Notes
香氣：揉雜花草的輕柔煙燻碘味、火柴餘燼、柴魚高湯、海風鹹感、甘蔗、青草、薄荷、橘子的清新酸香、蜜香。
口感：甜美的煙燻感、灰燼、柑橘果汁、蜜茶清甜、香草植物精油、青草茶的苦甘、些許鹹感增加複雜度。
尾韻：蜜香與煙燻延續、草本蜜、海鹽、層次豐富且均衡、略轉灰燼收尾。
Nose:
A gentle interplay of floral-herbal smoke and iodine, mingled with spent match embers, bonito broth, and a saline sea breeze. Layers of sugarcane, fresh grass, mint, and the bright acidity of orange zest intertwine with a touch of honeyed sweetness.
Palate:
Sweet, elegant smoke leads the way, accompanied by soft ash, citrus juice, and the delicate sweetness of honeyed tea. Herbal essential oils and grassy tea add a pleasing bitterness, while a hint of salt enhances the overall complexity.
Finish:
Lingering notes of honey and smoke, unfolding into herbal honey and sea salt. Rich in layers yet beautifully balanced, tapering off with a subtle ash-like dryness.
