台南運河自開闢以來，見證了城市的興衰轉折，也記錄了百年來水文、聚落與產業的變遷。它既是府城的生命線，也是城市記憶的載體，承載著歷史的重量與文化的流動。

 本作品以光軌為核心語彙，象徵河水奔流與時代更迭的軌跡。裝置由多組光軌單元構成，如同水波在夜色中彼此呼應、交疊與折射，化為一條條流動的光道。當觀眾穿梭其間，光線隨步伐而變，彷彿親身踏入百年運河的時光斷面。

 軌跡如船隻航行的水痕，也是時間留下的印記。作品透過光影的層疊與律動，將這條歷史長河轉化為當下可感知的經驗，光流既向過往致敬，也象徵城市未來的持續流動。

Since its opening, the Tainan Canal has borne witness to the city’s cycles of prosperity and transformation, recording over a century of changes in hydrology, settlements, and industry. It has served not only as the lifeline of the old capital but also as a vessel of collective memory, carrying the weight of history and the flow of culture.

 This work takes trajectories of light as its core visual language, symbolizing the flowing river and the shifting passage of time. Composed of multiple light-track units, the installation echoes ripples of water in the night—overlapping, refracting, and responding to one another—forming streams of luminous pathways. As visitors move through the space, the light shifts with each step, inviting them to step into a cross-section of the canal’s hundred-year journey.

These trajectories resemble the wake of passing boats, as well as the traces left by time itself. Through layered light and rhythmic motion, the work transforms this historic waterway into an experience that can be felt in the present. The flowing light pays tribute to the past while also symbolizing the city’s continual movement toward the future.

作品以光線在安平運河上編織無限迴圈，象徵時間流轉、記憶積澱與生命的延綿。每一道光圈宛如新的啟始，由內而外釋放能量；核心處投射的粼粼水光，則寓意城市的生命動能。草坡上數十顆鏡面不鏽鋼半圓球體構築出「江海光，景」：白天反射運河波光與周遭景物，觀者如置身潮海；夜晚則透出流動燈光，營造動感詩意。

安平運河自1926年竣工以來，從運送米鹽的「經濟之河」蛻變為「文化之河」。曾經歷沉寂，如今透過整治與光環境再生，重生為承載夢想的水岸舞台。《運河織光》引導觀者遊走於光年與記憶潮流之間，在循環中回望過往、感受當下，並編織未來藍圖。透過水與光的對話，期盼百年河流持續凝聚創意與連結，綻放嶄新的文化能量。

The work weaves an infinite loop of light across the Anping Canal, symbolizing the passage of time, the accumulation of memory, and the continuity of life. Each luminous ring suggests a new beginning, releasing energy from within and expanding outward, while the shimmering water reflections projected at its core embody the city’s vital life force. On the grassy slope, dozens of mirrored stainless-steel hemispheres form the landscape of “River and Sea in Light”: by day, they reflect the rippling canal and surrounding scenery, immersing viewers in a tidal seascape; by night, flowing light emerges from within, creating a dynamic and poetic atmosphere.

Since its completion in 1926, the Anping Canal has transformed from an “economic river” for transporting rice and salt into a “cultural river.” After a period of quiet decline, it has been revitalized through restoration and the regeneration of its lighting environment, reborn as a waterfront stage that carries dreams. Canal Weave of Light guides viewers through currents of light and memory, inviting them to look back on the past, experience the present, and weave visions of the future within an endless cycle. Through the dialogue between water and light, the work aspires for this century-old river to continue gathering creativity and connection, blossoming with renewed cultural energy.

《光蘊平安》漂浮於安平運河，以竹編輕舟喚起舊時水鄉記憶。舟下水底燈向外擴散，光 影在夜色中漾開，宛如祝福綻放於河面，寓意百年好合、平安永駐。

此作延續五條港的歷史脈絡，映照安平自古即為商旅與人情交會之地。光與舟互為表裡，既是「光蘊平安」，亦是「安平蘊光」，將港灣故事與人文情感轉化為流動的藝術詩篇。

《The Light Holding Peace》 floats upon the Anping Canal, where a crafted bamboo boat evokes memories of the water villages of the past. Beneath the vessel, underwater lights radiate outward, their reflections spreading across the night like blessings unfolding on the river’s surface—symbols of harmony, enduring unity, and lasting peace.

Continuing the historical context of the Five Harbors, the work reflects Anping’s long-standing role as a place where commerce, travelers, and human connections converge. Light and boat exist in mutual resonance: it is both “The Light Holding Peace” and “Anping that gathers light.” Through this interplay, stories of the harbor and shared cultural emotions are transformed into a flowing poetic artwork, drifting gently across the water.

《你好！台南》以安平運河為舞台，船上設置巨大的對話框，如同乘客正在與岸邊的人交流。

這些象徵性的對話讓觀者感受到城市的親切與人情味，展現台南作為歷史港都的開放精神與文化魅力。作品以幽默與互動方式，邀請人們重新思考「你好」這句日常問候所蘊含的溫度與連結。

《Hello, Tainan! 》takes the Anping Canal as its stage, featuring a large speech bubble installed on a boat, as if passengers are engaging in conversation with people along the shore. These symbolic dialogues allow viewers to sense the city’s warmth and human touch, expressing Tainan’s open spirit and cultural charm as a historic port city.

Through humor and interaction, the work invites people to reconsider the warmth and sense of connection embedded in the everyday greeting “Hello.”
