以傳統幾何圖案菱形為要素,拼布圖案「伯利恆之星STAR OF BETHLEHEM」「羅盤MARINER S COMPAS」作為基礎,八等分平衡對比圓形環狀設計,編織拼組的創作形式,進而延伸千變萬化的圖騰樣式。
「八」在傳統文化的知識中是吉祥的數字,諧音有「發」極為有能量的意涵,呼應內在及予傳達美好的意念。「圓」以表達圓乃本我是我,中心點的我,發散的我,意指向生命中最為重要的向度。菱形紋在台灣原住民泰雅族、賽德克族來說,其傳統意指祖靈之眼有象徵祝福之意。
畫面中心呈現出一種流動的圓形結構,富有動感與活力。星芒與三角形交錯,這種幾何圖形的變化,亦形成了一種視覺上的節奏感。增強了作品的層次感。光芒圖案也是太陽的象徵,它跟太陽一樣溫暖,有著太陽一樣的光輝,它是一種希望,也是一種力量,更是勃勃生機的體現。

Dimensions: W 168cm × L 168cm
Based on the traditional geometric rhombus, the patchwork patterns"STAR OFBETHLEHEM" and "MARINER'S COMPAS" are used as the basis.The circular ring design is divided into eight equal parts for balanced contrast,and the creative form of weaving and patchwork is further extended to the ever-changing totem style.
"Eight" is an auspicious number in traditional culture. Its homonym"fa" means"energy", which echoes the inner self and conveys good ideas. For Taiwan's indi-genous Atayal and Seediq peoples, the diamond patterntraditionally representsthe eyes of ancestral spirits and symbolizes blessing.
The center of the picture presents a flowing circular structure, full of dynamismand vitality. The alternation of starbursts and triangles in geometric shapes cre-ates a visual rhythm and enhances the layering of the work.Theray pattern is also a symbol of the sun. It is as warm as the sun and has thesame brilliance as the sun. It is a kind of hope, a kind of power, and an embodim-ent of vitality.
