新竹素有『台灣矽谷』之稱,又擁有許多得天獨厚的 自然環境,其中最有名的便是『風』。本作品以風動 的裝置結合市花 ( 杜鵑花 ) 的特色,發展出讓人能置 身『花蕊』之中的地景裝置。彎曲的圓管有高有低、 有疏有密,形成極為動態的視覺感;每支彎管的頂端 則設有顏色不一的風動球,隨風轉動產出更豐富的樣 貌。由於基地場景位於停車場空間,為柔化現場的柏 油路鋪面,使用北美杉來創作出數個不同大小與尺度 的場景平台,吸引往來的人群在此停留與遊憩。
This artwork begins with a wind powered kinetic installation, combined with the special features of the city flower (azaleas), creating a landscape installation that allows viewers to be immersed inside the flower. The work is created mainly from bent circular pipes, in taller, shorter, positioned densely or sparse way, resulting in a dynamic visual sense. On the top of each pipe are different colored balls moving with the wind to create a rich appearance. As the site is located in the car park, several large and small platforms are created with North America cedar wood to soften the hard asphalt and attract passerby to pause and enjoy.
