島嶼上的風創作理念

優席夫以圓潤流暢的線條展現出風、海浪，藍則源自於太平洋的藍色漸層。作品中的太陽是阿美族人的信仰，太陽被稱之為「ina」是母親的意思，月亮則稱為「mama」代表著父親的意思，太陽創造天地、月亮創造五穀，在日月星辰之間展現出風的靈動之感。

The Winds Above the Island

Features of Artwork

Yosifu Kacaw depicts the winds and waves with smooth curved lines, while the blue evokes the gradients of the color blue in the Pacific Ocean. In this work, the nimble winds flow between the sun, the moon and the stars. The Amis call the sun ina, meaning“mother”, and the moon mama, meaning “father”. In the olden days, the Amis believed that the sun was the maker of heaven and earth, while the moon was the creator of the cereals.
