理念 | Statement
作品以「蜻蜓的翅」為靈感。藝術家將人類打造出的地景、交錯的路徑,透過他的想像融入成為翅脈間穿透的紋理。觀眾首先會看見一根蜻蜓的翅,當走得更靠近時則會發現鑲嵌其中的道路、埤塘與建築。或許也可在其中找到關渡自然公園。

作品希望能關注活躍河川與水田環境的蜻蜓,牠們不僅可作為水質的指標,其生命也與水田息息相關,面臨著棲地因為城市發展而陸化、水泥化的壓力,我們將如何看待這縱橫交錯的命運?

The idea is to create a wing inspired by dragonfly wings. As this wing has an inner structure with a transparent layer, the artist has the imagination that this structure could be pathways and roads, almost a man-made landscape of pathways crisscrossing. The visitors shall discover a dragonfly wing and by coming closer realize a map of roads, ponds, and houses as the structure of the wing. The geography of the Park may be found on the wing as well.

The piece will raise attention to the dragonflies, one of the remarkable insects linked to the local environment and an indicator of water quality. The dragonflies and the rice paddies always have a kind of partnership.
