The sculptural form is inspired by migratory egrets that one might only encounter once in a lifetime. These elegant visitors are seasonal migrants every year. Their regular migration speaks to the seasonal changes of this garden. In this "landscape" of images, the nomadic waterfowls roam freely and relaxingly in the "dry" landscape, forming a vivid contrast and serving as a symbol of permanent time and fleeting moments. The posture of the sculptures and the landscaping of the garden both capture the impermanence in permanence.

Located in the timber pond, which used to be a wood production facility and is now an ecological pond of aquatic animals and plants, Forage - Habitat - Transit reveals a group of waterfowl sculptures that forms a humorous, comical response to Dongshi's historical industry and memory. The strange, slightly unnatural postures of the birds add a peculiar charm to the expansive waterscape.

In this natural park, which has evolved from an industrial site into a cultural one, these waterfowls in their respective posture seem to remind us of an important fact-nature and resources are not exclusive to human beings. Animals and plants are also a crucial part of this landscape.
