Introduction
Title: The Moon Lives in the Sea
Artist: Iyo Kacaw
Material: Steel
Dimensions: 500 CM Long, 200 CM Wide, 350 CM High
Location: Jialulan Park, on the Central Round Hill
"Mountains Harmonize Ocean Songs- East Coast Land Arts Festival 2021," is located in Jialulan Recreational Area. Through twisting and pulling recycled steel bars into a structure similar to the moonlight rising over the horizon, sprinkling a path of glowing waves shimmering and undulating on the sea. When Iyo was young, he always thought that the moon's home was in the sea because it always rose from the sea. The moon has an important message for us to observe the changing tides; it's like knowing when the sea inhales and exhales. Because of the gravitational influence of the sun and moon, there is the ebb and flow, twice a day, indicating good timings for the Banchas (the Amis people's self-proclaimed name) to consider getting in the sea catching fishing, collecting shellfish, and seaweed. The tight relationship between humans, islands, the moon, and the ocean is the refrigerator for the Bonchas to seek proteins in both the material and spiritual realms.
