Visions of Taoyuan

Everlasting

With the feature of the reflecting mirrors, this work showcases the setting sun scattering golden lights on the vast land, symbolizing the favor of the Nature and the eternal commitment to the land.

Metamorphosis
Material: Local stone material
Dimensions: L1.9✕H1.8m

Built with local stone materials, this work responds to the renovation of the Nankan River and the changes of the city. The changes of the city's looks are based on its original environment. Through the brand new techniques, the new looks of the city emerge in front of the public.

Echo
Material: H-shaped steel
Dimensions: L1.7✕H2.5m

With the H-shaped steel commonly used on the railway platforms, this work employs the old railway tracks and contemporary images to revoke the memories of unique sounds of the Taoyuan-Linkou Railway.

Coexistence
Material: Earth
Dimensions: L2.1✕H2.9m

This work interprets the land with "earth." Through the installation, we can see the profile of the faraway city as well as the vegetable farm nearby, highlighting the diversity of the features of the city as well as their co-existence.

Formerly
Material: Railway sleepers
Dimensions: L1.6✕H2.5m

This work is created with railway sleepers, the fundamental material for traditional railway tracks, symbolizing how we treasure the "cornerstone of the city." Through the frame, we can see the present and past of the Taoyuan-Linkou Railway and then look on to its future.

Oasis
Material: Straws
Dimensions: L2✕H2.2m

The tranquility of natural green shades nearby and the clamors of the city faraway both respond to people's different imagination of home as a haven. With straw as the material, which represents nesting for settling down, this work echoes the image of Taoyuan as a livable city.

Prospect
Material: Acrylic
Dimensions: L1.2✕H2.4m

The Nankan River, which runs day and night, has accompanied the development of the city. Through the installation, we can see the renovated river, faraway green shades, and high-rises in towns – a prospect of a future suitable for both living and business.
