作品理念
用染來串連部落、用染來連結人與土地的親密關係！
染是滲透、是影響、是時間的累積，更是彼此深刻的連結成為一體，也是和環境相互的依存和轉變。
透過染色的過程，邀請部落的人來一起參與，用森林土地裡的薯榔染料徒手染布，用休耕後稻田裡水牛洗澡打滾過的泥巴來媒染，以染的行動參與，讓部落族人的身體與心聚集，一起互動呼喚出早年使用土地上材料的許多回憶，重新和自然土地親密連結。
大家的染布，結合採集自光復太巴塱海岸山脈的強韌箭竹來張掛，如一面布旗。標示著人在土地上的存在感，也是一種結界。同時撿拾和收集東海岸邊充滿生命力的漂流木，用漂流木構成如植物蔓生的姿態，於新社半島的2個田區，建構出從土地上長出的生命力型態。 塗染著許多人的期待與愛的布旗飄揚，匯聚成半島上存在的結界，也是安居之所的神聖空間。

Dyeing to connect tribes, and to connect the intimate relationship between people and the land.
Dyeing is penetration, influence, and accumulation of time. It also has a profound interdependence and transformation with the environment.
The tribal people are invited to participate. They use shoulang yam from the forest to dye the clothes and use the mud where the buffaloes bathe and roll into mordant. Through the dyeing process, the body and mind interact together to evoke many memories of the early years, reconnecting the intimacy with the natural land.
The dyed cloth is hung like a cloth flag with the arrow bamboo. It marks people’s f presence on the land as well as enchantment. The driftwoods collected from the shoreline form a posture like a vine plant. In the two fields of the Xinshe Peninsula, we constructed a vitality form growing from the land. The fluttering flags dyed with the expectations and love of many people and formed a barrier that exists on the peninsula where a sacred space for living.
