Visitors exiting Daliao Station will see an enormous orange, vegetation sculpture rising from the grass. The sculpture, named Orange Memory, contains a variety of fruits, vegetables, and plants grown in Daliao District. A use of simple colors and vibrant contours signify the union of the environment with modern sculpture, depicting an interaction between human culture, nature, and life.
Also found in Daliao Station are artworks such as Green Englihtenment, Symbiotic Emerald Green Tree, and Austronesian Story. By introducing such artworks, Kaohsiung MRT stations remind the public to respect our natural environment and the ecosystem.
高雄大寮為一沿岸的溪埔地,因高屏溪的灌溉而肥沃,先民以屯墾起家,與自然共生,農產富饒,有紅豆、有番茄,冬季還有波斯花與太陽花田等,至今仍保有優美的田園景色。
走出大寮捷運站,可看見一座宛如自草地蓬勃生長而出的巨大橙色植物雕塑,這座名為《橙色記憶》的作品,上頭複合多種蔬果與植物,都是大寮在地的田園生態。單純的色彩與充滿生機的輪廓,將在地居民的環境記憶與現代雕塑融合,彰顯人文、自然與生命的互動關係。
同樣在捷運大寮站周邊的還有《綠色啟示》、《共生翠樹》、《南島物語》等多件作品,透過藝術創作,捷運站也扮演提醒人們尊重環境生態的教育角色。
