■ 賞．青梅 Green Plum – a Reward

2010 / 24 cm × 40 cm × 67 cm 銅 / bronze

青梅收獲季節，滿園彌漫著清新迷人的初春新綠，看見布農婦女伴著傳統歌謠採收青梅，布農族女性服飾，頭飾、胸前立體綴珠懸掛，就像粒粒色澤鮮亮清新、肥美多汁的青梅，隨著採收的腳步，迎向豐收年祭，立體串珠微微釋出布農族人與生俱來的樂天性格與責任感。

Whenever the harvest season of green-plums reaches its peak, the whole orchard is submerged in an enchanting sea of fresh emerald, a typical scene of early spring. It is a common sight that the Bunun women, while harvesting the green plums, will hum their traditional tunes. Their attire and accessories include hair-gear and decorative beads, and the latter, just like the glistening and plump green plums, often rest on their bosoms. As the pace of harvest strolls on, the Bunun harvest festival draws near. Somehow these distinctive beads disclose the innate optimistic personality and sense of responsibility of the Bunun people.

■ 濃濃春意 － （談）弓琴 Diving Deep into Spring – The “Play” of the Mouth Bow (La-dol)

2010 / 40 cm × 28 cm × 85 cm 銅 / bronze

布農族盛行一種叫〝弓琴（la-dol）〞的樂器，以竹子為弓、細麻、藤為弦，一端銜在嘴裡，左手持弓右手撥弦，琴音細微悠然，卻耐人尋味。〝弓琴〞是布農族男人狩獵之餘，排遣寂寞的休閒娛樂，渲洩情感、細訴心語的良方，是男女互表情意的催化劑。

Diving Deep into Spring – The “Play” of the Mouth Bow (La-dol)
The Bunun people have a popular musical instrument named “mouth bow” (la-dol). The bow part is made of bamboo, and its string is made of fine linen or rattan fiber. While played, one end of the bow is kept in cheek, the other end is held by the left hand, and the string is plucked by the right hand. The mouth bow music sounds subtle, carefree and pregnant with profound meaning. For the Bunun male, mouth bow playing is a recreation between hunts and a distraction from loneliness. It is a perfect prescription for a hunter to get it out of his chest and pour forth words from his heart. It is also a catalyst for men and women to express their love and affection to each other.
