Creation Idea
Main trunk of this Ivory Bonsai (sci : Diospyros Ferrea) has up and down movement and its wounds are lumpy, bulging, sunken in, etc. which represent the scene of aftermath. The first branch (is also the back branch) moves downward before moving upward that imply human overcoming difficulties and present hope for rebuilding disaster situation. Unwanted branches as in bonsai imply new hope for new life. The crown of bonsai, the branch moves vertically upward to horizontally downward which implies richness and luxury will soon end. The right branch moves outwardly but crossing path with another branch which implies life is chokingly painful and sad.
創作理念
這件象牙樹盆景的樹身樹幹上下起伏，傷口形成層隆起成內卷、或凹陷、或癒合結成瘤，隱喻地震後的滿目瘡痍。為了呈現地震後，倖存的人們衝破了這道生命的難關，邁向新的生命，所以這作品的的第一出枝向下之後在上升起，側枝並且用逆轉枝來呈現生命的轉折。這作品的第一出枝也作成為背景枝，隱喻這些衝破了生命關卡的人們，是災後複健最關鍵的力量。
這作品頂的部分，樹幹向上延伸，側枝逆轉而下，隱喻地震造成的災害，不論是多富有或幸福的人，這些都可能瞬間消失，呈現「人生無常」的現象。
這作品的右側第一出枝為啃幹枝，樹枝延伸之後再互相交叉成交叉枝。隱喻人們雖然會在災難發生的瞬間會陷入如割喉般的悲痛，但很快就會恢復冷靜並發揮合作和互助的本性。
使用忌枝，表現樹種特色、注重空間、樹身與樹幹有律動感
Making use of taboo branches, expressing uniqueness of species, emphasising in spacing, trunk and branches have movement and dynamism.
