以竹為巢 Nest of Bamboo

光穿過嘉義的竹林時,會留下兩種不同的氣息:一種在竹節 間跳動,帶著明亮的律動;另一種則安靜地落在地面,成為柔和的靜光。

〈以竹為巢〉正是在這兩種光影之間成形。從林中拾來的竹 子保持著原有的韌性,被反覆彎折成圓弧;粗細不同的竹條交錯 排列,
像是在空間裡畫出層層線條,逐步勾勒出結構的形狀。宛如巨大的巢的圓拱不只是遮蔽,更像是一個被自然接納、能讓人靠近的空間。走進其中時,彷彿能聽見土地最直接的呼吸。前方以竹片組成的弧牆像巢外延伸的景色,以規律的節奏呈現竹材在人工處理後的另一種溫度;它們安靜地站立著,陪著後方那座更 原生、自由的巢體,也映照出嘉義竹林的雙重樣貌,既能形成工藝 中的秩序,也能回到自然的自在與純粹。


When light passes through Chiayi’s bamboo forests, it leaves behind two traces of light. One dances between the bamboo joints, bright and rhythmic. The other falls quietly to the ground, becoming a gentle, resting glow.

“Nest of Bamboo” takes shape between these two traces of light. The bamboo, gathered from the forest, retains its original resilience. t is bent and curved again and again into arcs. Strips of bamboo in varying thickness are interlaced, as if drawing layers of lines in the air, gradually outlining the structure. Like a giant nest, the arching form is not merely a shelter. It is a space embraced by nature, one that invites people to come close. Stepping inside, one seems to hear the land breathing, clear and unfiltered.

In front, a curved wall formed by bamboo slats stretches outward like the view beyond a nest. With a steady rhythm, it reveals another warmth of bamboo after human crafting. They stand quietly, accompanying the more primal and free form behind them, reflecting the dual character of Chiayi’s bamboo forests — They can be orderly in craft, and they can also return to the ease and purity of nature.
