我取用了速度跟時間，所以在那個時候開始有「精神山」的作品，時間是無形的，線條是有形的，怎麼在有形的線條裡表現無形的線條，我開始捕捉一些不同的表現手法。
在法國亞維儂藝術節及巴西聖保羅藝術節，與優劇場一起作品展演。
I gathered speed and time, so around this period I began work on “Spiritual Mountain.” Time is invisible, but lines are visible, so I tried to figure out how to express invisible boundaries through visible lines, and I started to try different techniques.
Co-performed with U Theatre in Festival d’Avignon and São Paulo Art Biennial.

以陶甕的弧度象徵女性的孕育者角色。
新的一年即將要誕生，歸零之後就是新的開始，所以在這時候做了很多有關女性母體的作品，因為新的生命即將要誕生。在阿美族的符號裡，太陽象徵女性，月亮象徵男性，「末始」系列作品即以陶甕的弧度象徵女性，紀念孕育者。
Attempt to symbolize with the curve on the pottery jar the role females’ play—as the one that giving birth to life.
As a new year is approaching, with Day Zero comes the new beginning. During this time, I created many works about female/maternal body, because new lives are about to be born. In the culture of the Amis, the sun symbolizes female, while the moon symbolizes male. The “Ending and Beginning” series symbolize female with the curve of the pottery jar, in memory of those giving birth to life.
