從岩石海岸拍攝的風景位於臺灣的東北角，與日本相望。鯨魚摺紙看起來就像漂浮在海面之上，彷彿逐漸靠近又遠離。風景與摺紙形成了幾種類比，例如：自然與人工、岩石與紙的形狀、岩石表面與紙雕的幾何元素、海浪的反射以及紙張表面顆粒的不同亮度。

​

從文化角度來說，日本摺紙對世界摺紙藝術有著深遠的影響，因此摺紙可以成為跨文化的媒介。臺灣和日本都是島國。臺灣曾經受日本統治。代表日本的摺紙與臺灣的海岸風景結合，頗具政治地理的隱喻。

在自然界中，鯨魚是生態守護者。鯨魚排泄物是各種藻類生長的必需營養物質，而鯨落封存在海底的二氧化碳則有助於緩解氣候變遷。然而人類活動產生的污染物會影響鯨魚的免疫系統和生育系統，有些鯨魚會因意外吞食垃圾而死亡。船舶引擎的噪音會影響鯨魚的判斷力，使它們的溝通和狩獵變得困難。我們是否還對這些視而不見？

​

在實踐中，攝影作為一種定格時間的詩意手段，「折疊」是與時間互動、轉換時間的創意管道，拼貼可以成為一種將時間串連起來的方法。我最終使用數位拼貼來融合風景和摺紙圖像，並採用噴墨印刷將這些想法封入完成品。

 

The landscape shot from the rocky shore is in the northeast corner of Taiwan, facing Japan. The whale origami looks like it is floating above the sea surface as if approaching and drifting away. The landscape and origami form several analogies, such as natural and artificial, rock and paper shapes, rock faces and geometric elements of the paper sculpture, and reflection on sea waves and different brightness with the granular on paper surfaces.

 

In terms of culture, since Japanese origami profoundly influences the art of origami in the world, origami could be a trans-cultural medium. Both Taiwan and Japan are island countries. Taiwan was once under Japanese rule. As the origami representing Japan combined with the coastal scenery of Taiwan, it is quite a metaphor for political geography.

 

In the natural world, whales are ecological guardians. Whale excrement is an essential nutrient for the growth of various algae, and the carbon dioxide of deceased whales sealed in the seabed can help mitigate climate change. Nevertheless, pollutants from human activities affect whale immune and fertility systems. Some whales die of accidental ingestion of garbage. The noise of ship engines affects the judgment of whales, making them difficult for communicating and hunting. As matters stand, are we still blind to these?

 

In the creative practice, photography is used as a poetic means to freeze time; 'folding' is the creative channel to interact with and transform time; collage could be a method to make time in series. I ultimately use digital collage to merge landscape and origami images and adopt inject-printing to enclose these ideas into a work.
