漂流木、鋼筋
東海岸大地藝術節, 臺東縣綠島鄉帆船鼻大草原
漂浮在海面上的漂流木,跟著洋流在太平洋中旅行,讓人想起曾經乘黑潮從台灣到日本的人們。生長在島嶼高山的樹木,被激流沖到海洋中開始流浪,因日復一日自然力量的雕琢而使死去的樹木樣貌依然不斷變化。這件作品以在綠島礁岸上撿拾的浮木,創作出一串連結的球體,就像是被黑潮串起的太平洋島鏈,是奉獻給地球的項鍊。

Materials: Driftwood, Rebar
Location: Fanchuanbi, Green Island
Driftwood, floating on the sea and traveling in the Pacific Ocean with currents, reminds us of the people who once rode the tides of Kuroshio from Taiwan to Japan. Trees once grew on the high mountains of the islands are swept into the ocean by the river and begin to wander. The forces of nature continue to reshape and change the appearance of dead trees day after day. Created from driftwood found on the shore of Green Island, this work, a series of linked spheres, resembling the chain of Pacific Islands strung together by the Kuroshio Tide, is a necklace dedicated to the earth.
