理念 | Statement
關渡記錄了大自然的變化以及文化和城市發展的影響。透過認識這裡的歷史和與居民交談，我認為關渡是一個獨特的空間讓我們反思對自然保育，延續傳統和都市發展的態度和其平衡取決。

走進關渡的大街小巷，我對窗戶上的圖案特別感到興趣。窗戶把我們看到的風景設定了一個框架，同時展開了現實與個人觀點之間的對話，讓我們從另一個角度去詮釋這個城市。我把看到的窗戶以抽象的美學翻譯成不同的線條和形狀，視覺上它們或許看似關渡最後的一片稻田；從理念層面來看，它們代表著不同聲音和觀點的交纏。每當他們相遇並開始互動時，他們同時為這個地方創造不同的可能性和未來景象，並慢慢延伸至整個城市和人性的領域。我的藝術裝置希望提供另一個手法去激發更多聲音，接納觀點上的差異，並重新考探我們對自然和文化的責任。作品會擺放於 不同位置和高度，以此強調不同（或隱藏）在公園裡的各式情景，藉由藝術引導參觀者探討自然，傳統和城市現代化之間的關係和磨合。

創作過程中亦以一系列工作坊為平台，鼓勵遊客、藝術家與當地居民參與及討論，並期待參與者能因此以好奇、重視與尊重的態度，重新接近與探索自然。

Guandu is a hybrid environment documenting the changes of the nature and evolution of culture and urban development. After learning the transformation of the area and meeting with the local people, I value Guandu as a precious and unique platform for us to critically reflect our attitude towards the balance of protecting the nature, preserving the traditional culture and flourishing the city.

Walking through the Guandu neighbourhood, I was attracted by the pattern on the windows. They set a frame for the scene that we perceive and, at the same time, redirect how we interpret the city with nature by initiating dialogues between the reality and our individual perspective. These windows were translated into an abstract language which is formed by lines and shapes. It may resemble the last rice paddies left in Guandu visually but, speculatively, it also represents diverse voices and viewpoints crisscrossing each other. When they encounter and start a conversation, they are creating different possibilities and future scenarios for this place, and thus the city and our humanity. My installation aims to offer an alternative approach to unveil the dissimilarity, to welcome such distinction as well as to rethink our responsibility for nature and culture. It is a collection of windows placed in various positions in the park highlighting different (hidden) sceneries which serve as a stimulus for the audience to reconsider the relationship among the nature, the tradition, and the city modernisation through art.

The artwork is associated with a series of workshops involving public engagement and discussion from visitors, artists and the local people. Participants are encouraged to re-examine and explore the environment and its current status with curiosity, appreciation as well as respect.
