水是萬物賴以維生的生命要素,人類的文明足跡也依水而生。「水到渠成」以大茅埔水圳開發史為發想,緬懷前人在艱辛萬難之下,開鑿出今日的大茅埔圳,讓後代居民得以世代安居樂業於此。

本作品以”水”字形設計成可穿越的廊道,不規則穿插的竹子,象徵水圳開鑿時的困難與艱辛;穿越廊道後,佇立其中的竹編花朵,意喻水圳經過的地方,萬物生生不息,形成一座兼具互動遊憩空間的大型裝置藝術。

Water is a vital ingredient for all living things, and human civilization has developed around water. “/Fruits of Labor" draws inspiration from the development history of the water canal at Damaopu, which was made possible through the arduous endeavors of our forebearers. As a result, their descendants can now live in prosperity and harmony on this land.

The artwork features corridors inspired by the Chinese character for 'Water (水)' constructed using bamboo arranged in a random fashion, symbolizing the difficulties and challenges encountered by our ancestors while developing the water canal. After passing through the corridor, the blossom woven from bamboo represents vivacious life nurtured by the water canal, forming a large art installation that doubles as an interactive and recreational space.
