跨越國境‧海
2013/16 瀨戶內國際藝術祭​
​日本
​
海漂植物，棋盤腳樹的果實，散佈在澳洲、東南亞、甚至到東非的海域，皆可尋得蹤跡，而由菲律賓一路北航，經由台灣、琉球，至日本的這條海漂路徑，正與遠古時，人類的遷徙航路相吻合一致。此乃受惠於洋流黑潮之賜，得以完成人類大遷徙時代，子孫繁衍的巨大工程。
 
以棋盤腳果實為造形元素的種子船，從2013 年起，由台灣北海岸，一路北航至日本瀨戶內海的豐島，經過近一年與甲生村的深耕交流後，重返台灣宜蘭冬山河畔。今，以它強韌的漂流精神，計畫再度啟航，將於2016 年航向瀨戶內海的高松港的岸畔。
 
此次計劃是將種子船重新建構，除了以多年前被莫拉克颱風摧殘的大漂流木為主骨幹，再結合各種樹木，櫸木、樟木、楠木、松木等為次骨架及外飾材，這樣不僅只是建構種子船的種子與漂流意象，更是台灣山林的縮影。而在外部偌大的草地廣場上，插立數株高聳龍柏，與種子船之間，張引懸掛黑色大漁網，種子船如漂流浮沉於黑潮波浪中，人亦如海中魚蝦般穿梭其下，等拾級登上種子船時，又如浮出水面般。大漁網上，可隨意簡單地懸掛物件，以期共同表達對於海的意象和祈願。

Beyond the Border-Ocean
2013/2016 Setouchi Triennale  
Japan 

Seeds of the Indian Barringtonia can be found floating in the ocean off Australian, Southeast Asia, and even East Africa. This route by sea, floating all the way north from the Philippines past Taiwan and Okinawa to Japan, mirrors the route of human migration during prehistoric times. The Kuroshio Current helped facilitate this era of human migration and propagation.
 
The seed boat is based upon the design concept of the Indian Barringtonia’s fruit, sailing north from Taiwan’s north coast starting in 2013 all the way to Teshima at Japan’s Seto Inland Sea. After nearly a year of deep interactions with Kou Village, the boat returned to the banks of the Dongshan River in Yilan, Taiwan. Now, it plans to set off once more on its resilient spirit to drift and sail towards Takamatsu Port at the Seto Inland Sea in 2016.

The plan this time is to restructure the seed boat. Aside from utilizing large pieces of driftwood destroyed by Typhoon Morakot as the primary structure, various other woods such as Zelkova serrate, camphor, Phoebe zhennan and pine as supplemental support and exterior trimming. Not only does this construct a seed-like, float for the seed boat, it is a miniature representation of Taiwanese forests. Several Juniperus chinensis trees stand tall on the grassy plaza outside, with several large black fishing nets dangling between them and the seed boat. It is as if the seed boat is drifting and bobbing in the Kuroshio Current, with people walking below them like marine life. Once you board the seed boat, it is as if you are breaching the ocean’s surface once more. Objects can be hung from the large fishing nets to jointly express ocean imagery and prayers.
