鹽水古名月津，以前為一繁榮的感口，是ㄧ個具有歷史歲月的城鎮，在台灣絕大多數沿海居民的民間信仰都為媽祖(林默娘)，而媽祖之所以可以成為沿海居民的信仰中心是因為民間傳說她會在海上替這些補魚的大眾指引方向，就如同燈塔的功能性，場勘過程中居民聊天，發現鹽水地區也有間歷史久遠的媽祖廟，故以此文化進行發想，希作品可以更親近於居民，也加深在地人對自我文化的重視與關懷。

Yanshuei, used to be called Yuejin, was a prosperous harbor, a town full of history. In Taiwan, Ma-Zu is the main religion for the most of people. It was because she was believed to guide the direction for fishermen, like a lighthouse. While exploring the location and talking with the folks, I found that Yan-Shui Ma-Zu Temple is the center of local religion. Therefore, I’m using this as my prime concept, hoping that the work could become more attached to people and intensify the value of their own culture.
