162×130cm
油彩、畫布
南島語族原真善良,大自然賦予海洋與土地純淨豐美,族群皆擅歌能舞。南島語族樂天、敬天,六千年前以臺灣為起點,開始遷徙,經過七個階段的擴散,形成近年所認定北起臺灣,東至復活島,西到馬達加斯加,南抵紐西蘭的南島民語族範圍,可見臺灣位居南島原鄉。
跨越與連結-南島共通語言-Mata(眼)、Lima(手)、Mana(神靈)。熱帶、海洋的自然素材,創造出南島語族的歌舞奔放自由,三個女子象徵跨越與連結,背景臺東的蓮花圖騰,映射著臺灣是南島原鄉,原色色彩帶領我們在視覺與情感回歸簡單質樸的感官與情緒。整幅畫的色彩與形象跨越疆界,表現出南島語族之間血濃於水的原生串聯。

With the pure ocean and a fertile land bestowed by nature, Austronesian people are trusting, kind, unpretentious, and masterful both in dance and song. People of Austronesia are spirited and pay a lot of respect to nature. Six thousand years ago, the migration from Taiwan had expanded into seven stages. The migration ranges from Taiwan in the north, Easter Island in the east, Madagascar in the west and New Zealand in the south. Taiwan seems to be the origin of all these migrants.
Transcending distance and culture, Austronesians have a few common words commonly shared such as – Mata (eye), Lima (hand), and Mana (god). Austronesia’s free, expressive, and unrestrained style of dance and song are both influenced by the tropical weather and by the ocean. These three women symbolize the interconnection between the different groups. The lotus totem from Taitung used as the backdrop reflects Taiwan as the Austronesian homeland. The primary colors represent our visions and emotions at its most rudimentary level. Colors and Images in this work cross boundaries and bring the people of Austronesia together.
