– Together with the pioneers, guarding memories of the time by the harbor.

與拓荒者一起，守望港邊的時代記憶。

在那亟需打拚與奮鬥的草創年代，母性的姿態總成為一個家庭、親族甚至整個聚落最溫柔堅韌的支撐力量，依據愛家護家的天性，她們本身就像一盞她手中的油燈，全然散發著光亮溫暖，自然的指引在江海裡因疲憊而晚歸的人們，邁向光亮、朝向共同燦爛美好的人生歸屬。

– Put on new a new dress for the pond, and march forward to the next 200 years!
為塭仔穿上新衣，邁向下一個二百年！

《台江水禮服》作品概念來自於台南特殊的鹽田景觀，以「水」作為載體，透過鹽的結晶型態作幾何結構，營造出時間洪流所孕育的奇幻風景，並表達人與自然共存共榮的關係。

The concept for “Taikang Water Dress” comes from the distinctive view of Tainan’s salt fields. This piece turns “water” into a vector and uses salt crystals to form geometric shapes, building a fantasy landscape through the flow of time, representing the relationship of coexistence and coprosperity between humans and nature.

– Taikang, time, history, and memories interact to form a river of light.
台江、時間、歷史、記憶交互成光的河流。

《台江夢》以超過一百支燈管搭建而成，長型燈管在不同高低水平與斜率中，連成一條流域。時間與記憶如同每個時代的光芒，照亮我們即將前行的路，也引領我們看見常民市場文化之於地方生活的重要意義。當黑夜來臨，作品將帶領民眾一起探索台江的時光之夢 !

“Dream of Taikang” is built from over 100 fluorescent lights. The fluorescent light tubes are connected at different heights and slopes to form a watershed. Time and memories are like rays of light from every era, illuminating our path forward and leading us to see how the common people’s market culture was significant to local life. As night approaches, this work will draw people together to explore Taikang’s time of dreams!

– In the marketplace, listening to the sounds of Taikang together!
在市場一起聆聽台江之聲！

《台江聲域》利用錯綜複雜又變化豐富的管路，環繞在菜市場的樑與柱上，並結合互動性的聲音裝置，將在地的四種地景之聲容納於管路中。作品以流域為形，聲音為體，形塑出台江流域獨特的水文環境，邀請民眾靠近管路的出口，一起聆聽台江土地的聲音。  

“Soundscape of Taikang” wraps intricate and varied piping around the beams and pillars of a food market, and integrates four types of sounds from Taikang into the pipes through interactive sound installations. This work uses a watershed as its form and sound as its body to model the unique hydrological environment of Taikang Watershed, inviting people to approach the openings of the pipes and listen to the sounds of Taikang’s land together.

– This gorgeous river is Taikang’s fertile landscape nourished by a mountain stream
絢爛的河流，是台江受溪水滋養的豐饒地景

《Drop of Light-Flow》以多組件式雕塑，在空中呈現不同角度的翻轉和舞動，形塑絢爛繽紛的流水意象。在不同的觀看視角，作品呈現時而連結或分散視覺效果，表面漸層的色彩，猶同水面的波光嶙峋，搭配燈光效果交織出絢麗的視覺饗宴。

“Drop of Light-Flow” is a sculpture made of multiple modules that twirl and dance at different angles in the air. The gorgeous variations in form resemble flowing water. Viewed from different angles, this work has the visual effect of occasionally appearing to merge and separate. The color gradations are like sunlight rippling on the water’s surface, and lighting effects are interwoven to create a visual feast.

– The river writes the memories of the land, continuously passing down the story of Taikang.
河流寫下土地的記憶，將台江的故事不斷延續流傳

    
以在地的中文與台語字詞拼音，將強勁又有活力的文字幻化成為台江的水流與波光，象徵台江流域生生不息的流水，乘載著先民的記憶將故事不斷流傳，也期待觀者在水的文字中找到屬於每個人在這片土地中棲身的港灣。

Using the pinyin for local Chinese and Taiwanese words, bold and energetic text is transformed into the current of Taikang Watershed and the light reflecting off its waves, symbolizing the endless flow from Taikang Watershed, which stores the ancestors’ memories and continuously passes down their stories. It is hoped that within the water’s text, viewers will find the sheltering harbor of this land that belongs to everyone.

– Linking the water and land, the brown land crab represents the unwavering and determined spirit of Taikang!
連結海洋與陸地，圓軸蟹是堅毅不拔的台江精神！

                  
圓軸蟹是台江最具代表性的陸蟹，作品打造出螃蟹堅硬的外殼，象徵圓軸蟹努力不懈的精神。一大一小圓軸蟹相疊，展現雌蟹充滿母愛的形象，並配合二部動畫影片，以童趣的方式呼籲民眾守護生態資源。這件作品是用天然素材製作，也請大家以珍惜愛護圓軸蟹的心情來看待作品喔 !

Cardisoma carnifex, the brown land crab, is Taikang’s most representative species of terrestrial crab. This work recreates the crab’s sturdy shell, representing its hardworking and indomitable spirit. One big and one small crab are stacked on top of each other to create the image of a female crab filled with maternal love. Paired with two animated films, this work uses childlike whimsy to call upon the public to protect ecological resources. This work was made using natural materials, and everyone is asked to look upon the brown land crab with a nurturing and cherishing attitude.

Mangroves in the intertidal zone are like the lungs of the wetlands, breathing together with the ecology.

潮間帶的紅樹林宛若濕地之肺，同生態共呼吸。

作品以台江紅樹林根系簡化的造型進行創作，從生態教育的角度，刻意如浮沈的波浪中沈浸、洗沐最後翻轉紅樹林漸進的顏色，暗示著自然環境中的植物逐漸納入人類的生活空間後，我們更需如何保育並與之共融。

本作品也歡迎民眾穿梭其中去感受自己與台江這片生態環境的關係。

This artwork was created by simplifying the shapes of the Taikang mangrove forest root system. From an ecological education perspective, it meticulously evokes the color gradation of a mangrove forest immersed, bathed, and finally rolled by undulating waves, suggesting that after plants in their natural environment are gradually incorporated into human living spaces, it becomes even more important for us to learn how to conserve and coexist with them.
The artwork also invites the public to walk around inside it and feel the connection between themselves and this piece of Taikang’s ecological environment.
