In Taiwan's rural areas closely intertwined with the land, a naturally pure way of life has been cultivated, making daily life diligent and warm without haste.
However, faced with the rapidly changing demands of generations and the development of urban civilization, the countryside has gradually become the opposite of the city. In response to the natural development of life and the environment, it constantly absorbs disturbances from urban civilization, deviates from interference and demands, and causes the countryside to fall into a stagnant cycle.
The foundation of the countryside is seen as a breathing space for urban civilization, thus labeled as a salvation land. In reality, local residents have long closed their doors and windows, thereby closing the interesting alleyways that once flowed into the city.
Only the fields and structures left on the land record the traces of past lives. Therefore, I will use the countryside as the subject to unlock closed pathways, excavate the presentation of rural life, experience life from childhood to adulthood, ride on unfamiliar development contexts, reconnect communities, gather local consciousness, and regain the vitality and spirit of innovation.
