人在世界會有一次死亡
到靈界後會經歷三次
第一次變成百步蛇
第二次變成鷹，鷹再死亡
第三次就變成竹節中亡者的淚水＊
生命中強烈的情感透過鼻笛聲、吟唱
經歷一次三次死亡
公鹿換新角
山豬換臼齒
百步蛇以鱗片教導族人蓋石板屋
黃昏、暴雨將至時
以翹鼻吹氣
族人學吹鼻笛
熊鷹的羽毛化成女人
生下頭目之子
孩子只在APP捕捉寶物
山林智慧將隨風而逝
板模工人爬上鷹架登上山的高度
變成一顆螺絲被自己拴在鋼骨上
獵人帶著刀子和塩上山
用弓織敞開空間
用弓琴展開時間
想像力是一隻鷹
銜著光之箭
穿越時空
時空延展出時空
祖靈歸返
被喚起的詮釋
意義追尋生命的源頭
創始的印記不斷尋找生命
死亡再次出生
＊Vetsik ：排灣族語，百步蛇三角形紋、熊鷹羽毛紋飾、人身上的紋刺。
＊排灣族蛇變鷹傳說，古樓村女祭師laerep口述，胡台麗收集。
駐村田野調查訪談卑南族下賓朗部落老獵人潘東升時也聽到百步蛇變熊鷹的傳說。
以隨手工具與自然素材、神話意象之結合、對應來呈現族群文化的傳承與創造的可能性，藉以突顯原住民族群的現代處境。
原住民族的處境就是人的處境。

Mark of the genesis, Vetsik
People will get through death once in life and get through it three times after getting to the spiritual world.
The first time is to become a Cottonmouth snake
and the second time is to become an eagle.
After that, the eagle will be dead
and the third time is to become the deceased’s tears in a bamboo joint.
The strong emotion in life gets through death once
and three times through the voice of nose flute and singing.
New antlers grow on stags.
New molars grow in wild pigs’ mouths.
Cottonmouth snake teaches clansmen to build Talalibi with its scales.
While the nightfall and rainstorm are approaching, Cottonmouth snake teaches clansmen to play the nose flute by tilting its nose to blow.
The feathers on Hodgson's Hawk Eagle turn into a woman who gives birth to the son of the chieftain.
Time travels time
Progenitors return
The source of all life
The search for meaning
The annotation which is awakened
Mark of the genesis keeps searching its life
The death is born again
＊Tai-li Hu collected what laerep in kuljaljau dictated was a legend that a snake became an eagle in Paiwan.
＊Vetsik：the skin of Cottonmouth snake, the feather of Hodgson's Hawk Eagle, and the tattoo on the human body.
