Artists Tuwak Tuyaw and Chen Shu-yen (Taiwan) use multiple materials like bark and fiber to create designs resembling boats, fruit, and seeds, suspended outdoors in the exhibition space. These designs symbolize fluidity, navigation, and dissemination, echoing the “Out of Taiwan Hypothesis” about Austronesian origins, and corresponding with the history of Austronesian migration. Taiwan has always been a vibrant island, rich in diverse qualities in geography, species, and culture. Facing the Pacific Ocean, we are not alone on this island in the sea; we exist in a web of interrelations, each thread imbuing our unique characteristics and vitality.
