「新春」在華人文化中象徵著更新與希望，是萬物復甦、辭舊迎新的節氣時刻。此作以其為創作靈感，將節慶中的喜悅與祝福意象轉化為一系列層層相疊的曲型拱門，建構出可供觀眾穿行其間的空間體驗。

作品的主要材質為竹子。竹子是自然界中強韌而靈活的材料，它象徵著環境永續與東方美學的精神。拱門的外層與內裡覆以紅色布料的編織，宛如空間中的寫意山水。流動的紅色線條是種祝福與文化能量的綿延，也彷彿自土地深處升起的文化根系，連結著歷史、記憶與群體的精神紋理。

當觀眾行走於其間，猶如步入一片紅霞流轉的境域。空間在視覺與感官上營造出瑞氣盈門的氛圍，象徵新年的啟程，帶來吉祥、祝福與希望。作品既是傳統文化的延伸與轉譯，也是自然材質與當代藝術交織的節慶詩篇。

《迎春之境》作品以「轉化」、「共生」、「流動」為三大軸線。「轉化」是將新春的節慶意象轉譯為立體空間的體驗，使文化符號化為可感知的環境藝術。「共生」指自然與文化的共存。竹子代表生命的韌性與再生力，紅色象徵人類的情感與節慶精神，兩者交融，形成人與自然、傳統與當代之間的對話。「流動」則象徵時間與生命的延續，作品以紅色線條與竹拱的節奏，展現出文化在流轉之中不斷更新的詩意。

Year: 2026

“2025 Taiwan Lantern Festival.”

“Spring” in Chinese culture symbolizes renewal and hope—the moment when all things revive and the old year gives way to the new. Inspired by this seasonal transition, the work transforms the joy and blessings associated with the New Year into a series of layered, curved arches, forming a spatial installation through which visitors can walk and experience the work from within.

The primary material of the installation is bamboo. Bamboo is both resilient and flexible in nature, symbolizing environmental sustainability as well as the spirit of East Asian aesthetics. The outer and inner layers of the arches are interwoven with red fabric, evoking the expressive quality of landscape painting in space. The flowing red lines represent blessings and the continuity of cultural energy, resembling cultural roots rising from the depths of the land and connecting history, memory, and collective identity.

As visitors move through the structure, they feel as though they are entering a realm where red clouds gently flow and gather. The space creates an atmosphere of auspiciousness and celebration, symbolizing the beginning of a new year and carrying wishes for good fortune, blessings, and hope. The work functions both as a reinterpretation of traditional culture and as a festive poem in which natural materials and contemporary environmental art intertwine.

Realm of Renewal unfolds along three conceptual axes: Transformation, Coexistence, and Flow.

Transformation refers to translating the symbolic imagery of the Spring Festival into a three-dimensional spatial experience, allowing cultural symbols to become a perceivable environment.

Coexistence speaks to the relationship between nature and culture. Bamboo embodies resilience and regeneration, while red symbolizes human emotion and festive spirit; together they create a dialogue between people and nature, tradition and contemporaneity.

Flow represents the continuity of time and life. Through the rhythm of bamboo arches and flowing red lines, the work expresses the poetic renewal of culture as it moves and evolves through time.
