本作品連結鳥類與人類的遷徙經驗，著重於臺灣關渡自然公園每年的鳥類遷徙以及海外華人的遷徙歷史。研究顯示，鳥類遷徙路徑反映氣候變遷和海岸開發之影響力。同時，海外華人的遷徙反映了文化適應狀況與信仰，特別是對海神媽祖的崇拜。臺灣的濕地是重要的候鳥休憩地，因此本作品旨在喚起人們保護鳥類遷徙路徑與鳥類棲息地。本作品也促進人們了解自然現象與人類文化身分之間的關係。簡言之，本作品從生態學及人類學觀點探討生命的相互關聯性，促發人類-文化-環境之間的深度瞭解。This project links bird and human migration, focusing on annual bird migrations in Taiwan's Guandu Nature Park and overseas Chinese migration history.The study of bird migration routes reveals impacts of climate change and coastal development. Meanwhile, overseas Chinese migration reflects cultural adaptation and beliefs, particularly the worship of Mazu (Goddess of the Sea).The project aims to raise awareness about the importance of conserving migration routes and habitats, especially Taiwan's wetlands that serve as resting places for migratory birds. It also promotes understanding of the connection between natural phenomena and human cultural identities. Overall, it explores the interconnectedness of life from ecological and anthropological perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of human-culture-environment relationships
