Introduction
Title: The Traveler’s Eyes
Artist: Tapiwulan Kulele
Material: Steel
Dimensions: 800 CM Long, 400 CM Wide, 250 CM High
Location: Jailulan, Northern Meadow
"Mountains Harmonize Ocean Songs- East Coast Land Arts Festival 2021" is located in Jialulan Recreational Area, overlooking the breathtaking scenery of the Dulan Bay embracing the Dulan Mountain. For Kulele, the eyes are passages for one's inner soul to the outside world. The beauty of the East Coast landscape is both visually magnificent and spiritually powerful, capable of cleansing our souls. He hopes that through these travelers' eyes, sculpted from recycled steel bars, viewers who stop by the border of mountain and sea can review their coexisting relationship with nature.
Thousands of years...
Countless days turning into nights, seasons changing...
By the mountains and the sea, humans coexist with everything in nature
The fertile earth carries the joy from birthing innumerable lives
and quietly accompanies their return to the dusty dirt and flowing currents
The years have cultivated the majestic beauty of the East Coast… nurturing and sustaining the Austronesian cultures
All passengers of every journey are struck by her beauty
The flow and change of life
Here we are stopping... hesitating...gazing...envisioning
Encounters embracing with our hearts and souls… are deeply hidden in every eye-contact
Leaving the impression of beauty and praise to reminisce
