迷宮是一種對生命歷程的探尋，而「漣漪迷宮」就像一座介於人與自然之間的大劇場。我將「水」與「迷宮」這兩種意象結合，重新詮釋生命中的偶然與流變，並以作品呈現自身自然體驗的詩意圖像。

我以漣漪的形式，讓作品座落於冬山河生態綠舟廣闊的草坡之上，以竹子建構出一座「漣漪迷宮」，也是一座自然樂園，用以回應水之於萬物的根本重要。這樣的經驗來自遠眺一座山與真正走入山中的視野與身體狀態：路徑的選擇與思緒的流動如同水的轉折，在山中，每一條路徑都獨一無二，也總在不斷上演著屬於自然的劇碼。

大地藝術作品是人與自然共同完成的創作，是與土地一同凝結出的結晶。作品以自然細微的物理狀態為形式，讓無處不在的自然力量得以顯形。大地藝術帶給我們的，不僅是視覺上的感受，更是一種身體可以進入的體驗，促使我們重新覺察自身與所處的生活。

The maze is a journey of exploring one’s life path, and “The Ripple Maze” is like a grand theatre between human and nature.

In this work, I bring together the two images of “water” and “maze” to re-interpret the contingency and flux of life, shaping a poetic image drawn from my experiences in nature.

Using the form of ripples, I let the work settle onto the gentle grass slopes of the Dongshan River Ecoark, constructing “The Ripple Maze” in bamboo—a maze of ripples and, at the same time, a natural playground. It is a response to the fundamental importance of water to all living things. The work is inspired by the difference between viewing a mountain from afar and entering it: the shift in vision and bodily state. The choices of path and the movement of thought turn like flowing water. Within the mountain, every route is unique, and nature’s theatre is unfolding at every moment.

Land art is a form of creation shared between human and nature, a crystallisation that is with the land itself. This work takes subtle physical states found in nature as its formal language, emphasising the ever-present forces of the natural world. Land art offers not only a visual experience, but also an invitation to step into the work—to sense, to inhabit, and to become more aware of our lives.
