About Earth Worker Installation Art
ايارٿ ورڪر تائيوان جي پنگتونگ ڪائونٽي ۾ هڪ آبي زمين (ويٽلينڊ) ۾ رکيل هڪ ٻاهرئين آرٽ انسٽاليشن آهي. اڌ نمائندگيءَ وارو انساني پيڪر پاڻيءَ ۾ اهڙيءَ طرح بيٺل آهي، جيئن هڪ ديو مالائي شخصيت هجي، جيڪا سموري جاندار مخلوق کي جنم ڏئي ٿي. جسم جو هڪ پاسو زمين ڏانهن جهڪيل نظر اچي ٿو، جڏهن ته ٻيو پاسو آسمان ڏانهن نهاري رهيو آهي. گلاس فائبر مضبوط سيمنٽ بنيادي مواد آهي، جيڪو ڌاتوءَ جي فريم ۽ فوم جي تراشيل مرڪزي جوڙ تي چاڙهيو ويو آهي. برش ٿيل سيمنٽ مارٽر جي مٿاڇري کي سادو رکيو ويو آهي، جنهن ۾ ڪوبه اضافي رنگ يا پيچ نه ڏنو ويو آهي. هيءَ انسٽاليشن مقامي تاريخ ۽ ماڪاڊائو قوم جي ثقافت جو حوالو ڏئي ٿي.

- Unique Properties
- The designer metaphors the earth worker as a giant coming from afar, stopping in the wetland to create all living things, using semi-representative human shapes to express local stories through the body, movement, and temperament. In order to bring out the local elements of Taiwan, through long-term interviews and field investigations, to understand the local history and culture, based on the idea of the aboriginal peoples of Macadao that were once a matriarchal society in the local coastal area, and then set up the legendary story of "The Mother Earth".
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The designer first sculpts the styrofoam to complete the outline of the prototype, then uses all kinds of metal components as the bone material, covering the overall shape to make it more stable, so as to continue the sculpture work of the surface material. Since the main material of the project is on the surface, the construction needs to consider the hardening time of the cement, and sculpt in stages, and set various seams and edges. How to keep the humidity during the production process to slow down the hardening speed of the cement is required.

- Production Technology
- This project uses GlassFiber Reinforced Cement as the main material and uses low-alkali cement mortar to add glass fiber filaments. The exterior design mainly uses cement mortar as the brush texture, without unnecessary patches or color processing, and uses the simple and rough material characteristics to emphasize the sensibility of the project and the natural environment of the wetland.
- Design Challenge
- The overall project needs to include geology, weight, average force, strong gusts, earthquakes, and other climatic factors into the structural calculations. Depending on the data, the marine engineering foundation steel piles are used to design the water foundation. The project of hanging on the water is divided into upper and lower parts due to the weight of the work and the restriction of the equipment, using subtle joining methods, and the joint is set as part of the appearance, without excessive on-site processing or modification.
- Research
- The semi-representative humanoid device is like a giant standing in the water, using both hands to create all things on the earth, and the stem buds growing on the hand symbolize "all things". Both sides of the body shape have their own meaning, one overlooking the earth, the other one looks up at the sky, and there is a gate for gestation in his body. All the life of all souls comes out from the gate, and on the other hand is the naughty creature "human" who jumps out of the gate, who is the protagonist of the plot.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration originally came from the first impression during the first meeting with the local environment. It is hoped that the project will combine the wetland environment and connect the water, woods, and sky to create a natural and harmonious picture. It integrates into the aboriginal culture of the local Macadao tribe, evokes a sense of visual impact with the "Earth Worker", and also brings out the local history and stories.
- Project Duration
- The project was completed in December 2020 in Pingtung County, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- In addition to implying the mother of the earth, the work also symbolizes "broaden the horizon", which means "everyone is his own creator, and you are the center of your own world." When starting a new stage or dream in life, it is like the gesture of the "Earth Worker", with both feet deeply rooted in the earth and hands deeply cultivating life. The result of the dream is not a secular achievement or the end of happiness, but a "proof of bringing up the courage to change." The designer looks forward to paying tribute to people working hard in society through the project.
