“Song of the Sea and Mountains”, Taitung Art Museum Public Art
"Tulan Mountain is reminiscent of a beautiful face in repose, shimmering hair
like the waves of the Pacific Ocean, a russet red torso that brings to mind Mother Nature, the protector of all things."

Taitung Art Museum’s public art work “Song of the Sea and Mountains” takes the extended line of the mountain
and transforms it into the silhouette of a face.
With its natural shape, Tulan Mountain is one of the most visible landmarks in TaitungCounty. It is also a sacred mountain
in the legends of the Amis and Payula aboriginal tribes and an important focal point for aboriginal history and culture.
The flowing hair in the work symbolizes the rhythmand energy of the Pacific Ocean which not only interlinks the location
and aesthetics, but also symbolizes how nature has nurtured the diverse peoples of this land.
In her resolute wonder, Mother Nature has given sustenance to the rich culture of Taitung and protected the passion
for life it embodies, as evidenced by the unique aesthetic of the mountains and ocean.
