尺寸：高350-380cm長1300cm寬250-300cm

媒材：韓國當地竹材、海廢塑膠、海廢魚線、鐵線

作品說明：

島嶼依海而生，千百年來透過黑潮、透過洋流，每座島嶼就像神經元，太平洋便如同突觸，而海洋是個整體，不論感知，或者思維，我們都以一種未曾間斷的形式互聯，而太平洋是訊息，我們就是這樣純粹地將生命孕育出來，礁岩潮間帶豐沛的生物也餵養我們，而生命在此順應環境的所有變化。

如今人們漸漸失去對海洋的敬畏、禁忌跟儀式，我們不再有機會讓海洋喘息，而文明不要的東西卻終歸流向大海，封鎖了生命該被創造的地方。

我們所認知的世界，實是無數條平行的竄流，透過循環不止的洋流，世界的符號方能不曾止息的交集與傳遞。當這些訊息來到這靠海的礁岩與部落，它們如同東北季風在島嶼邊撒下的海菜種子，在必要時隱身，在浪濤間滋養，在風起時茁壯，不因任何颶風而感到畏懼，純然的順應自然的變化，成為這塊島嶼一點一滴慢慢孕育出來的生命樣態、現象或是型式，或許沒有那麼耀眼，但絕對是純粹的。

If There Were an Island on the Beach

Islands are born beside the sea. The Kuroshiro Current and other flows connect them, the islands becoming like neurons and the Pacific Ocean a synapse. The ocean forms an integrated body. Our perceptions and thoughts are interconnected in a form that has never been broken. This form, the ocean is like a message through which we bring forth our life. We are fed by the plentiful creatures who inhabit the reefs and rocks of the intertidal zone; here life responds to all the transformations of the environment.

Today, we have gradually lost the taboos and rituals that expressed our reverence for the ocean. We no longer have occasions that let the ocean rest. We have discarded everything our civilization no longer wants into the ocean. In these ways, we have closed off the place from which new life should be created.

The world of which we can have certainty is, in fact, just several strands of turbulence. It is through these currents in their unending cycle that the world’s meaningful signs can intersect and communicate. When their messages come to these reefs and villages beside the ocean, they are like the northerly gales of winter when they disperse the seeds of the seaweeds, which hide until they are needed. The seeds are nourished amidst the waves and grow in strength when the wind rises. They have no fear for hurricanes, but purely respond to natural transformations, becoming a pattern, trend, or model of every kind of life this island has gradually brought forth and nurtured. Perhaps it is not dazzling, but it is pure.
