Winter of Austronesia －Rebirth

Winter of Austronesia

Winter in the Southern Islands

Serene and cool, as if time stands still,

Preserving the abundant beauty.

Gather seasonal herbs with respect,

Brewing sacred wine for offering.

Follow the wisdom of Mother Earth —

Let go, and thus reborn.

Yosifu Kacaw -

UK based Taiwan indigenous contemporary artist. “As a child, the blooming season of pomelo flowers would fill our village with an intoxicating floral scent. In the rolling hills of Ruishui, pomelo and grapefruit are also prominent crops. For the design, choosing the Hualien pomelo flower led me to envision the golden rice waves of the Hualien-Taitung valley and the sweet aroma of pomelo flowers. Thus, this piece, ‘Sweet-Smelling Breeze,’ came to life. Let’s experience the harvest of the golden rice fields and the fragrance of the pomelo flower swaying in the autumn wind.”
