Her work, “Mountains as Frozen Waves, Ocean as Fluid Light”, is located at the most isolated and beautiful part in the Hualien Visitor Center’s garden. Shu-Ling believes that the fascinating thing about large-scale outdoor installations is that through the interaction between the artwork and space, the viewers are drawn physically “into” the artist’s creative consciousness. The East Coast Land Art Festival artworks are located on a long and narrow stretch of coastline, where the sea adjacents to the mountains, confronting with questioning waves day by day. In contrast, the mountains reaching into the ocean all the time. Not far from the shore is the deep Pacific Ocean, where the Kuroshio Current meanderingly stretches up north from the south. It seems to be a sign telling that the Austronesian people are destined to travel. Like tree seeds, they drift from the sea to land while building their dreams by the mountain and settle in with a view of the ocean.
When internal exploration is no longer satisfying, people start to look far away to prepare for the unknown.
A shot, an undeveloped negative film, of the land
Wave after wave
Separating God from God
Crushing the shimmering waves
is the deepest turquoise blue
Repeatedly knocking towards the other side,
It is the sound before the birth of human
