《 篳路藍縷 》
鐵軌是丈量鄉愁的尺
火車一啓動，就叩叩叩…
一尺一寸地跟我清算日日夜夜
累積在體內的思念
車內外的景象疊映在窗上
所有人都清醒地看著自己的夢
沈睡或注視遠方的都停不下來自已的腳步
沈睡或注視遠方的都離不開這遠離
初次離家是北上求學，服役於花東，退伍後到中橫山上小學當代課老師，當地族人看到我就直接用族語打招呼，這樣的親切感讓我困惑，也開啟我去深入認識原來生活在這島嶼上的人們所面臨的種種。移居東海岸後常來回於宜蘭與花蓮間，在不同族群的生活實境對照下，能更清晰地體會到族群間在墾殖歷史所遭遇的處境在目前社會中似乎仍方興未艾。
漢人在蘭陽平原的拓墾過程中，得力於「結首制」，所謂「結首制」是將30至50個農民編成一「結」，由「小結首」帶領進行拓殖，「結」下的田園分成數「份」，每位力墾者一份。在小結首之上，尚有大結首、總結首和土地資本家。小結首負責的區域稱為「結」，大結首負責的區域稱為「圍」*。
本作品以鋤頭作為墾殖象徵，成一球狀以示「結」「圍」在土地上，是警示亦是弔念。

《 SKULL of CITY 》
The railway track is a ruler for measuring nostalgia
When the train starts, it will chug chug chug……
Inch by inch, it squares me up the nostalgia
that has accumulated inside my body day and night.
The scenes inside and outside the train are reflected on the windows, overlapped.
Those who are in slumber or staring afar cannot stop their pace.
Those who are in slumber or staring afar cannot distance themselves from distancing away.
Those who fall asleep or stare into the distance cannot do without this distance
In the contrast of the realities of the lives of different communities, it is apparent that the situation encountered by the communities in the history of reclamation still seems to be emerging in the present society. In the process of reclamation of the Lanyang Plain, the Hans were able to take advantage of the “leading knots”, in which 30 to 50 farmers were grouped into a “knot” and led by a “minor knot leader” to carry out reclamation. Above the minor knot leaders were major knot leaders, general knot leaders and land capitalist. The area under the small knot leader is known as knot, and the area under the major knot leader is termed wei. In this work, the hoes, which are used as a symbol of reclamation, form into a ball to illustrate “knot” and “wei”, which serves as warning and a token of sympathy.
