作品概念來自於濕地上茂密生長的水筆仔與河流意象。水筆仔有水土保持與環境保護的功能，如同濕地上的守護者，而感潮帶的河流則牽動著當地水文律動與人類的活動。
藉由風將兩者結合，創造一個擁有風動與時間進程的動態作品，以河流造型矗立在濕地上。隨著潮汐漲退，風吹緩移飄動著，以自然動力回應人與自然之間的關係，也彷彿訴說著某種神祕的自然話語。
Tide Whisper depicts the images of mangroves (Kandelia obovata) in the wetlands and the river meandering through the city. Mangroves which act as buffers between land and water are able to protect the environment and wildlife. Therefore, they can be seen as wetland guardians. Meanwhile, the dynamics of the tidal river affect the rhythm of local water flow and the diversity of human activities.
Connecting these two elements, Tide Whisper will be an installation in motion, a kinetic artwork which will be moved by the wind and evolve through the passing of time. As the tide comes and goes, combined with the blowing of the wind, this artwork actively makes a response to our relationship with nature, as if it is telling a mysterious story.
