2002
|
He spent a year on the uninhabited island of Guishan (Turtle Island ) in the northeast
|
|
of Taiwan. In the midst of this nature devastated by the passage of the typhoon,
|
|
he gave new life to driftwood, by creating his series of contemporary sculptures : Life
|
|
representing babies and their mother.
|
|
|
|
His creation process demonstrating the infinity of life, was found :
|
|
respect for the environment - transformation - innovation.
|
|
These three stages are now inherent in all of his works.
