藉布農族神話重新思索人與島嶼、海洋環境、人與人之間所構成的生活哲理。大洪水過後就有了不同島嶼的形成,人們四處流動,有的留在原點,有的順著水流向他處,不管走向哪條路,都已築建新的生活,我們的流動過程,雖然不同卻也依稀相同。
既然洪水過後就有了各自的島嶼,那就好好成為自己,並記憶著「我們」的經歷;臺灣被視為南島語族的母親之島,將故事裡的動、植物轉化成島嶼;其它族群也有不同的洪水傳說流傳,將洪水時間與南島語族向外遷徙假設在同一時期發生,作為故事的發展,在面對相同困境時,各族群會依照各自的族群特性,發展出新的生活,試圖呈現新世代原住民以輕鬆的態度回看自身文化,平等的尊重是山林一直傳授的智慧。

Drawing on Bunun mythology, the work reflects on the relationships between people, islands, the ocean, and ways of living together. After the great flood, different islands emerged as people moved in different directions—some stayed, while others followed the currents. Though their journeys differed, each built a new way of life.
The work transforms the plants and animals from the story into islands, imagining the flood and the outward migration of Austronesian peoples as part of the same narrative. Faced with similar challenges, different communities developed new ways of living according to their own characteristics. Through a lighthearted perspective, the work reflects on Indigenous culture and reminds us that mutual respect has always been a wisdom passed down by the mountains and forests.
