理念 | Statement

關渡宮裡，神獸與吉祥動物棲息於建築與信仰之間，為宮廟文化中的自然語彙。作品以二手玩具與布料重組宮廟自然圖騰，在涼亭創造一個讓神獸暫時卸下守護者身份，可以遊憩的棲地。當自然與人造物交織，「自然」是否仍能被劃分在人造環境之外？那些被製造、消費與丟棄的物件，也早已成為我們環境的一部分。

At Guandu Temple, mythical and auspicious creatures inhabit the space between architecture and belief, forming part of the natural vocabulary of temple culture. Using second-hand toys and fabric, the work reinterprets the temple’s natural motifs and creates a temporary habitat in the pavilion where these guardian creatures can briefly set aside their protective roles and rest, play, and roam.

As nature and human-made objects become intertwined, can “nature” still be clearly separated from the built environment? Objects that have been manufactured, consumed, and discarded have already become part of the environments we inhabit.
