棲神之地
'Prayers' focuses on Taiwan's unique temple culture, exploring how ancient rituals are seamlessly woven into the modern everyday. A central theme of this series is to capture the diverse hierarchy of the divine amidst the annual Mazu Pilgrimage. Subjects range from the formidable Guan Jiang Shou 官將首 (divine guardians) and the Civil Officers 家將文官 (messengers responsible for receiving and transmitting divine orders) to the towering Daxian Wengzai 大仙尪仔 (Giant God Generals). Serving as the deity's entourage, these figures collectively commemorate the perilous journey early settlers undertook to arrive in Taiwan.
Collectively, these images illustrate how faith serves as a powerful foundation for collective identity. Moving between sacred rites and bustling streets, this project is a visual testament to the resilience of Taiwanese piety and the enduring bond between the people and their land.
聚焦於台灣獨特的廟宇文化，探索古老儀式如何無縫地編織進現代日常生活之中。本系列的一個核心主題，是在年度媽祖遶境中捕捉到的多樣神職面貌：從威嚴震懾的「官將首」（神明護衛）、負責接令傳令的「家將文官」，到俗稱「大仙尪仔」的巨型神將。這些隨侍神明出巡的部將，共同紀念著早期先民渡海來台、歷經險阻的開拓歷程。
這些影像共同描繪了信仰如何作為一種強大的集體認同。穿梭於神聖祭典與喧囂街道之間，本計畫以視覺見證了台灣民間信仰的韌性，以及這片土地與人民之間永恆不滅的情感連結。
