“香山濕地藝術季_海來說”

潮汐的運動源自地球、太陽與月球之間的引力牽引。這股宇宙的韻律，不僅是自然界恆常的現象，也深刻塑造了人類與海洋的關係，影響著漁業、航行、文化，甚至情感與生活哲學。

作品《潮與巢》座落於香山濕地的潮間帶，串連藝術、潮汐與家園之間的意象。以竹子與蚵殼為主要材質，結合當地原生產業的自然元素，呼應濕地生態與人類共存的永續文化。作品在濕地上描繪出如星軌般的圓弧線條，緩緩升起，形構出一條可進入、亦開放的通道，象徵人與自然的循環往返。

整體以雙月形構成：外部的月象呼應竹蚵棚的結構，透過顯化理解自然的力量；內部的月象則如同承載文化與記憶的容器。當風吹拂，蚵殼相互敲擊的清脆聲響，與浪潮的節奏共鳴，成為自然與文化對話的回音。這雙月的交會化作潮汐之家的象徵，猶如人類在自然節奏中安居的詩意寓所。

當潮水退去，大地顯露，人們得以走入其中，感受潮間帶的呼吸，觸摸時間與自然的痕跡。潮起潮落，日昇月沉，《潮與巢》靜靜見證天地的循環，也喚醒人們對自然的感知與敬意。 Title: Tide and NestArtist: Lee Kuei-Chih

The movement of the tides arises from the gravitational pull among the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon. This cosmic rhythm is not only a perpetual phenomenon of nature but also one that profoundly shapes humanity’s relationship with the ocean—affecting fisheries, navigation, culture, and even our emotions and philosophy of life.

The artwork Tide and Nest is situated within the intertidal zone of the Siangshan Wetland, weaving together the imagery of art, tidal motion, and the idea of home. Constructed from bamboo and oyster shells—materials rooted in the region’s local industry—it echoes a sustainable culture of coexistence between human life and wetland ecology. Across the landscape, the artist traces graceful, orbit-like arcs that rise gently to form an open, walkable passage, symbolizing the cyclical flow between humanity and nature.

The work is composed of twin lunar forms: the outer crescent mirrors the structure of local oyster racks, revealing the visible strength of nature; the inner moon serves as a vessel that holds cultural memory. When the wind blows, the clinking of oyster shells resonates with the rhythm of the waves, becoming an echo of dialogue between nature and culture. The meeting of these two moons transforms into a poetic home of the tides—a dwelling harmonized with the rhythm of the Earth.

As the tide recedes and the land reemerges, visitors can walk within it, feeling the breath of the intertidal zone and touching the traces of time and nature. Rising and falling with the tides, with the sun and moon in constant motion, Tide and Nest quietly witnesses the cycles of the universe and awakens a renewed sensitivity and reverence toward the natural world.
