外出的遊子,如同飄盪的種籽,來到這座城鎮收集資料的時候,在地領隊說了一句 『還居住在這座城鎮的同學,只剩下我而已』,或許許多鄉鎮都有著相同的問題,為了生存必須遠離自己熟悉的地方,長年在外生活而家鄉卻變得陌生,飄盪的人們 起身離開後才更能懂得家的樣子,離開或許才會是離家最近的距離。作品運用大量網狀編織的材質,試圖在空中與風產生互動,如同鄉愁那是一種你知道它存在,但卻無法具體敘述的物件,輕飄飄不穩定的搖盪在眼前,希望透過作品的連結將那種不可言喻的情緒表現出來。
“Among the fellows growing up together in this town, I am the only one who still resides here,” said the local tour guide.
The drifting seeds were just like the young generation of this old town, leaving their motherland for survival and better opportunity. The truth was the tour guide wasn’t the only one expressing the sadness toward his hometown. In fact, many cities and towns in Taiwan shared the similar issues, outflow of young people. On the other hand, although people were not familiar with their own origins after years of working in other places, they thought of them all the time. Maybe this emotion of being homesick shortened the distance between the migrants and homeland. Thus, artists were trying to make the artwork connect with the unexpressive emotion by the floating seeds.
