珠念

《珠念》以念珠為意象，將竹編圓珠串聯為可穿行的空間結構。
圓珠的重複與間距形成緩慢的節奏，回應北港長久以來的人群往返與信仰延續。在雲林，信仰不僅存在於儀式之中，也存在於日常與時間的積累。
「念」是一種內在的動——心的波動、記憶的留存，以及祈願在時間中的持續生成。
作品將指間之物轉化為地景尺度，
使行走成為一種感知的方式。
在珠與珠之間，連結的不只是形式，
更是人與土地之間的無形關係。
Beaded Prayer uses prayer beads as its central metaphor, linking together round bamboo-woven beads to form a spatial structure that visitors can move through.
The repetition of the beads and the intervals between them create a slow, measured rhythm—echoing the long-standing flow of people coming and going in Beigang, and the continuation of faith across time.
In Yunlin, faith exists not only within rituals, but also in everyday life and in the gradual accumulation of time. “Recitation” is an inward movement—the stirring of the heart, the preserving of memory, and the ongoing generation of wishes as time unfolds.
This work transforms something once held between the fingers into a landscape-scale experience, turning walking into a way of perceiving. Between bead and bead, what is connected is not merely form, but the intangible relationship between people and the land.
