2022新北濕地藝術季-川流堆疊
「水」是我們靈魂的反映。
水是地球上生命的基本成分之一。地球表面大約70%被水所覆蓋，與人體內水份的比例相同。自1994年起，Masaru Emoto博士不斷地以科學的方法進行了意念對水結晶影響的實驗，也揭示了水在不同環境下會產生著不一樣的信息，而這水的實驗啟發了藝術家李蕢至和Lua Rivera開始製作漂浮在水面上的作品想法。從2019年開始李蕢至和Lua Rivera逐漸地在不同的地方創造出一件件獨特的「水禮服」作品。此作品使用環境間的自然素材來覆蓋水面的一部分，創造了漂浮在水面上的天然紡織品。它就像是一件為水織出的衣裳，以藝術的方式擁抱我們生命中最重要且神祕的物質- 水。
濕地與海洋、森林並稱為全球三大生態系統。它除了涵養水源、淨化水質的功能之外，也是大地上孕育生物多樣性的豐富基因庫，有著「地球之腎」的美名。此作品所在地的溼地屬於人工溼地，它蜿蜒設計在城市的河邊，將城市裡的廢水逐步淨化，是一個自然的方式進行廢水處理的生態系統。此外，科學家研究後發現在喜瑪拉雅山雪峰、北極冰山與人體健康的細胞DNA周圍緊密環繞的水分子結構都是六角形的。而且六角型是自然界中最常見、各方受力均等且最緻密的結構。因此，此「新北濕地水禮服」作品我們以木料創造出許多漂浮於溼地水面的六角形結構圖樣，並以溼地裡的水生植物裝置於圖樣之中。創造出一件由濕地植物相互編織而成且漂浮在濕地裡的自然禮服。同時它也是一件屬於此獨特的環境中的「水禮服」。
這件作品在濕地間呼應「水」這地球上最常見的物質，也是最強大的流動性能量。在人與自然之間藉由藝術轉化的方式，有形地擁抱水。

“2022 New Taipei Wetlands Art Festival”
Wetlands, oceans, and forests are known as the three major ecosystems in the world. In addition to its functions of conserving water sources and purifying water, it is also a rich gene pool that nurtures biodiversity on the earth, and is known as the "kidney of the earth". The wetland where this work is located is an artificial wetland. It is designed in meander form by the river in the city to purify the wastewater in the city step by step. It is an ecosystem for wastewater purification in a natural way. In addition, scientists have found that the structure of water molecules closely surrounding the snowy peaks of the Himalayas, the Arctic icebergs, and the DNA of human healthy cells are all hexagonal. Moreover, the hexagon is the most common structure in nature, with equal force on all sides and the densest structure. Therefore, in this "Water Dress- New Taipei Wetlands" work, we used wood to create many hexagonal structural patterns floating on the water surface of the wetland and installed aquatic plants in the wetland in the pattern. Create a natural dress made of wetland plants woven into each other and floating in the wetlands. It is also a "water dress" that belongs to this unique environment.
This work echoes "water", the most common substance on earth, and the most powerful fluid energy among the wetlands. Embrace water tangibly through the artistic transformation between man and nature.
