“Taiwan East Coast Land Art Festival 2020_ Boundary aggregation”
Climate change is closely related to the increase of greenhouse gas, it is directly and indirectly reflected in the level of human life and the natural ecological environment, these signs have been more severe in recent years, such as melting icebergs in Greenland, massive coral deaths, and forest fires, etc. Global warming has caused the rising sea surface temperature to continuously increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which directly affects the natural structure of the earth's atmosphere. Our ecological, ocean currents, and hydrological circulation systems have also changed, and the phenomenon of seawater entering the land has accelerated, which has also strengthened the power of typhoons. Typhoon is a natural phenomenon of global climate regulation, and it is also a common weather phenomenon in Taiwan. Therefore, the main image of this work is taken from the typhoon.
This work is named "Transition". This is an environmental sculpture composed of natural objects and human waste after marine economic activities. On the land bordering the mountains and the sea, the bamboo and driftwood with the attributes of mountains and seas are combined with marine waste to represent the flowing state of nature itself and create a habitat in the form of a typhoon. It is also a place for thinking while humans are in nature. This work echoes the "Boundary aggregation" theme of the "Taiwan East Coast Land Art Festival 2020", and responds to the diverse nature and culture that nurtured many ethnic groups on the east coast of Taiwan. It also points out the current state of the environment in which we live and stresses the importance of environmental sustainability and balance.

2020東海岸大地術節_邊界聚合
創作理念：
氣候的變遷與溫室效應氣體的增加息息相關，它直接與間接地反映在人類的生活與自然生態環境上，這種跡象在近幾年更劇烈地發生著，比如格陵蘭冰山融化、珊瑚大規模死亡、森林大火等等。而地球的暖化使得海面溫度升高，大氣中的二氧化碳濃度不斷上升直接影響了地球大氣的自然結構。我們的生態、洋流與水文循環系統也跟著改變了，夏季越來越熱，海進的現象加速，颱風的威力增強，四季不再分明。然而颱風是地球氣候調節的自然現象，也是在臺灣常見的天氣現象，尤其台灣的東部面朝太平洋，是每年颱風形成時最常侵襲的方位，氣候的改變更是與這裡居民的生活密切相關。因此，此作品選擇以颱風作為創作的形象，並名為「轉變」。
這件作品是由自然物與人類在海洋經濟活動過後的廢棄物所構成的環境雕塑。在山與海的邊界土地上，作品將有著山的屬性的竹子和海的屬性的漂流木做結合之後，再將從鄰近漁港蒐集來的廢棄漁網等海洋廢棄物與這些自然物聚合在一起。以自然流動的形象，創造一個有著颱風造型的棲息空間。「轉變」作品是個人與自然共處的思索空間雕塑，呼應著「2020東海岸大地術節」的「邊界聚合」主題，回應臺灣東海岸孕育著許多族群且發展出多元流動的特質與文化的同時，藉由這些物質的聚合，也指出我們生活所處的環境現況。
