“2019 The Driftwood & Sand Beach Sculpture Festival”
This work was first realized in 2009 along the southern coast of Taiwan, titled Drifting.
It responded to Typhoon Morakot, confronting the sudden force of a natural disaster while pointing toward the profound ecological transformations unfolding under global climate change. Drifting, in this context, is not merely the movement of material, but a condition of life compelled to move forward after the loss of balance.
Ten years later, I revisited this work at the Hokitika River Mouth in New Zealand, renaming it Hokitika Ripple.
A ripple originates from a single point, expanding outward through nature’s inherent forces and becoming visible on the surface we perceive. The annual Driftwood & Sand Coastal Sculpture Festival held at this site resembles such a ripple—emerging from the local landscape and gradually drawing more people back into close contact with nature and heightened environmental awareness.
Installed at the sunset point of the Hokitika River Mouth, the work exists only briefly in the landscape, yet continues to extend through memory.
Between appearance and disappearance, it shapes itself while responding to the fleeting beauty of the natural surroundings.
Born of the sea, and returning to the sea.

“漂流木與沙濱海雕塑藝術節”
這件作品最初完成於 2009 年，位於台灣南部的海岸，名為《漂流》。
作品回應當年的八八風災，面對突如其來的自然災變，也指向全球氣候變遷下，生態系統正在經歷的劇烈轉換。漂流的狀態，不只是物質的移動，更是一種失衡之後被迫前行的生命處境。
十年後，我在紐西蘭霍基蒂卡河口再次實踐這件作品，並將其命名為《霍基蒂卡漣漪》。
漣漪，源自一個點，藉由自然內在的力量向外擴散，並在我們可見的表面上顯現。每年於此舉辦的「漂流木與沙濱海雕塑藝術節」，就像在這片土地上泛起的一道漣漪，從在地出發，逐漸引領更多人重新親近自然、感知環境的變化。
作品設置於霍基蒂卡河口的日落之地，作品短暫存在於現地，卻在記憶中持續延伸。它在顯現與消逝之間，雕塑著自身，也回應著那稍縱即逝的自然景緻。
源於大海，也歸於大海。
