Tainan’s Rende Sugar Factory preserves an important chapter of Taiwan’s sugar industry and local memory. After the decline of sugar production, the site was revitalized by Ten Drum Cultural Village, where percussion, art, and industrial heritage merge. This project reinterprets the relationship between the sugar factory and Ten Drum through visual design and illustration, transforming local history, industrial change, and cultural memory into visual narratives that reconnect audiences with their roots.
