This exhibition presents 15 Taiwanese heritage artists who have been chosen as examples of how art addresses the preservation of multiple cultures, renewal of the environment, and honoring the new multi-faceted unity. In this context, art is a tool that supports constructive thought about culture and art history, the relationship between humans, land, and the myth of universal operations - notions that have been imminently transformed into a chaotic hymn. Potential political, economic, and cultural crises can be averted only by an emphasis on the diversity of life that promotes interactive relationships. This display posits that art is an area that can explore this meaningfully through recognized symbols that transcend culture and foster universal connections.
