Geologies of Identity

This pair of blown glass sculptures takes the island as its motif. Blue-green hues evoke both sea and land, while metallic textures suggest mountains and strata. Their differing heights subtly echo the layered tensions shaping Taiwan’s geography and cultural identity.

By fusing glass and minerals, the work occupies a state of liminality-fragile yet resilient, transparent yet weighty-reflecting the layered hybridity formed through Taiwan‘s entangled histories.

More than a depiction of islands, the sculptures articulate an ”island language“ of form-reframing isolation as a space of cultural imagination, and resonating with broader conversations on marginality and hybridity.
