伏流 Undercurrent

曾文溪，溫柔地蜿蜒於嘉南平原。

炙熱豔陽下，王船揚帆，航行於信眾的汗水之上。那是條無形卻緊緊相連的精神血脈伏流。遙想數百年前，這條青瞑蛇曾數度改道。先民們面對著生死存亡的無助，祈望與背後的無常達成和解。這些殘酷且溫柔的記憶和感受，化為信仰的痕跡，沈積為堅毅與從容，並持續流淌於人們心底。

於是我讓嘉南平原的風、光線、空氣中的柚花香氣，引領著我在此晃蕩，感受這伏流的脈搏，欲召喚出世代間錯落而重疊的、屬於台灣人的共感和記憶。

In the southern reaches of Taiwan, Zengwen River gracefully meanders through the storied Jia-Nan Plain, a landscape deeply rooted in the island's rich history and tradition.

Beneath the blazing sun, the “King’s Boats” glides upon the unwavering devotion of its people, forming a spiritual current that unites us with our heritage. The river, once dubbed the "Blind Serpent," has shifted its path numerous times over the ages. Our forebears faced the fragility of existence, and sought solace in reconciling with life's impermanence. These poignant, yet tender recollections and emotions have crystallized into symbols of faith, cultivating a resilience and serenity that endures within the hearts of the Taiwanese community.

Guided by the whispering winds, the golden light, and the fragrant embrace of pomelo blossoms, I traverse the Jia-Nan Plain, tuning into the rhythm of this hidden undercurrent. Through my photographic creations, I strive to capture and convey the collective memories and emotions of the Taiwanese people that bridge generations.
