Taiwan is a beautiful island surrounded by seas. Over the past four centuries, the development are bound with the ocean. With modern people knowing less about it, it is confined to only seafood cuisines and water sports. In order to remind people of importance of respect while using marine resources, the idea of the Sea General came from the traditional folk religion, the Sea Goddess, Mazu. It symbolizes the Sea General sacrificed her life to save the damaged environment. Her crown was remained as a message of cherishing the planet, marine resources preservation and climate change.

The team started in the countryside of southern Taiwan in 2004, using the Tugou community in Tainan City as a base for practicing community design and rural art, accumulating years of experience and promoting the concept of the whole countryside area is an art gallery.

Rural areas of Taiwan Being forgotten by the time Making the population decreasing Low industry and scarce resources areas If art is an intermediary Can the rural areas find a new self-identification and positioning? The team started in the countryside of southern Taiwan in 2004, using the Tugou community in Tainan City as a base for practicing community design and rural art, accumulating years of experience and promoting the concept of the whole countryside area is an art gallery. In 2010, more young designers and artist were recruited to be settled in other rural areas in the south and find ways together with the local residents to plan a community space transformation. It is hoped that more people will discover the beauty of the countryside through art. The whole concept is that when art enters the countryside, it should maintain the humble attitude, emphasize the social actions of local residents, with optimistic and positive symbolic elements, even being integrated with the community living space and its functions. Professionals (including designers and artists) trying to integrate, care and understand the state of the pace, introducing field information and local perceptions, play the role of a place to tell a story, and the output can be a re-presentation of local life, culture, history, memory, and an intermediary for people to re-encounter, understand, and learn with the land. It is hoped that through art and design, a new rural revolutionary movement will emerge in the countryside of Taiwan.
