“2024金門國際海洋藝術季_湖光馥郁”
在1950年代到1970年代期間的台灣海峽兩岸緊張局勢中，金門經歷了多次砲擊，這些砲擊事件深刻地影響了金門的歷史和居民的生活。砲彈不僅是戰爭的象徵，也成為了金門居民文化記憶的重要組成部分。砲擊期間，金門的居民經歷了許多艱難和挑戰，許多人必須在地下掩體中度過他們的日常生活。這種經驗深深影響了居民的集體記憶和社區文化。
戰後，許多未爆炸的砲彈被收集和保留，其中一些甚至被改造為藝術品或日常生活用品，如刀具、家具等。這些砲彈製品不僅象徵過去的困苦和堅韌，也代表了金門居民的創造力和適應能力。
此外，金門是一個風水文化深厚的地方。在「風水學」中，風是元氣與場能，水是流動與變化。此流動的能量將金門太湖、風獅爺和高梁酒這3大金門重要指標聯繫起來。金門太湖作為一個風水富裕的地方，在當地文化中被視為具有積聚財富和吉祥之意。風獅爺是金門獨特地方特色的信仰，相傳是古代風水設置的福將，可以守護家宅和村落的平安，而高粱酒往往被用來祭奠祖先或表達對過去的尊敬，在風水學中，酒亦被視為具有能量和療癒之力的物質。
「輕撫波光」作品中，雕塑的形狀來自於兩顆砲彈的形狀組合而成。它將原本堅硬且破壞的形象轉化而成了柔軟且和諧的造型象徵。我將這大小不一的象徵造形進行組合，安裝於戶外的太湖遊憩區中，如風的線條應和著湖面的波光，輕撫著這片土地。它正以風水信仰與自然的流動能量陳釀著金門豐富多元的文化。

“Kinmen Ocean Art Festival_ Exquisite Aroma”
In the tension between the Taiwan Strait from the 1950s to the 1970s, Kinmen experienced many artillery shell attacks, which deeply affected the history of Kinmen and the lives of residents. Cannon shells are not only a symbol of war, but also an important part of the cultural memory of Kinmen residents. During the shelling, the residents of Kinmen experienced many difficulties and challenges, and many people had to spend their daily lives in underground bunkers. This experience deeply affects the collective memory and community culture of residents.
After the war, residents collected and preserved many useless artillery shells, some of which were even transformed into art or daily necessities, such as knives and furniture. These cannonball items symbolize the hardships and tenacity of the past and represent Kinmen residents' creativity and adaptability.
In addition, Kinmen is a place with deep feng shui culture. In "Feng Shui", "Feng" is Vitality and field energy, and "Shui" is flowing and changing. The energy of this flow linked the three important indicators of Taihu Lake, Wind Lion God, and Sorghum wine. Kinmen Taihu Lake, as a wealthy place for Feng Shui, is considered to accumulate wealth and auspicious in local culture. Wind Lion God is a belief in the unique local characteristics of Kinmen. According to legend, it is a blessing set up in ancient Feng Shui. It can protect the peace of the house and the village. Sorghum wine is often used to memorize the ancestors or express respect for the past. It is also considered a substance with energy and healing.
In the "Stroking Wave" work, the shape of the sculpture comes from the shape of the two artillery shells. It translates the original hard and destructive image into a soft and harmonious symbol. I combined this symbol of different sizes and installed it in the outdoor Taihu recreation area. The lines of the wind should be stroked with the waves of the lake. It is growing the rich and diverse culture of Kinmen with the flow of Feng Shui belief and nature.
