王爺廟巷位在王爺廟所守護的「境」內,在這個疫情影響台灣的非常時期,運用廟宇會以燈籠吊掛範圍標示出所管轄的「境」的習俗,期望在活動期間以每日點亮平安燈籠的概念,象徵祈求平安度過疫情,亦有王爺廟守護王爺廟「境」內的雙重意涵。
※ 此作品與居民共同創作,並將大家的祈福集結,築起平安的光。
Wangye Temple located in his “parish,” the region under his protection, which often is marked by lanterns. During the pandemic, Wangye, the guardian god assigned from heaven, plays a particularly important role to stabilize the society and ease people’s anxiety. Borrowing the ritual of the temple, the artists used the lanterns to pave out the way to wish that Wangye can patrol down the neighborhood and bring peace and safety to his parish.
