大埤藝術季
雲林縣是全台灣稻米產量最多的縣市，大埤鄉更是雲林縣稻作面積最廣的鄉鎮。大埤鄉在荷據時期（1624）荷蘭人築「埤」儲水，又稱作「紅毛埤」。且大埤鄉的嘉興村因有著三百多年茄苳樹而有「茄苳腳」的舊名。因此，此雕塑我「以水寓生」，從農村稻田裡常見的田螺做為發想，並結合周遭環境的自然資源來完成雕塑。
此作品名為「時間螺旋」。螺旋是自然界當中最常見的造型，且螺旋現象對於認識宇宙世界有著重要的啟迪與揭示作用，同時也是物理的時空觀。在螺旋雕塑的內部我以這棵老茄苳樹的落葉與附近田中的稻草進行填充，在時間的更迭下體現著自然循環的本體。
「時間螺旋」作品在結合幾何與曲線的美感之外，它看似農田裡常見的田螺，也狀似種子發芽的前奏。在這庇蔭著我們生活的老樹旁，有著孕育與生生不息的象徵，呼應著土地與人緊密的情感，回憶著過去的田間樂趣。

“Dapi Art Festival”
Not only Yunlin County is the county with the most rice production in Taiwan but also Dapi Township is the widest township of rice farming in Yunlin County. During the period of Taiwan under European rule(1624), the Dutch built "Pi" to store water storage, also known as "Hongmaopi". Moreover, the Jiaxing Village in Dapi Township has the old name "Red Cedar Feet" because of more than 300 years of a Redcedar tree here.
Therefore, I use water to interpret life in this sculpture. The idea is to start with the field snails common in rural rice fields and combine the natural resources of the surrounding environment to complete the sculpture.
I call this work "Time Spiral". The spiral is the most common shape in nature, and the spiral phenomenon has an important inspiration and revealing role in understanding the world of the universe, it is also a physical concept of time and space. Inside the spiral sculpture, I filled with this old red cedar tree fallen leaves, and the rice straw. The change of time reflects the natural cycle ontology.
"Time Spiral" works are combined with the aesthetics of geometry and curves. It looks like the field snails common in farmland and also looks like the prelude to seed germination. Next to the old trees of our lives, it has a symbol of breeding and endlessness, echoes the tight emotions of the land and people, and recalls the fun of the past in the rice fields.
