Located in the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Horse, Mountain or Water is a sculpture and public art created by famous sculptor and block printing artist Dawn Chen-ping. In this piece, Dawn focuses on “circulation and penetration,” a concept pertinent to his creative career. Different panels were used to form various shapes, that were melted and drilled. Through the drilled holes, viewers gain a peephole that breaks the established forms and limitations of traditional sculpture, turning the sculpture into a structural component in space, inspiring thoughts on the differences between 2D and 3D objects.
Dawn believes that 3D objects are an accumulation and extension of 2D objects. Sculpture art to the artist is like three-dimensional surfaces wrapped in ribbons. The concept is similar to paper boxes being 3D when closed and 2D when opened. Viewers can experience different aspects from the various angles of the artwork and become a part of the piece during this viewing process; bridging the gap between 2D and 3D entities.
座落於高美館的公共藝術作品《是馬是山也是水》，創作者為以雕塑及版畫聞名的藝術家董振平，佔其創作生涯相當重要的「迴旋穿透」形式，表現在雕塑手法上，係將面板圍成各種形狀並熔切穿洞，透過鏤空洞口穿透重疊借景，打破傳統雕塑的既定形式與侷限，讓雕塑成為空間中的結構組成，平面穿透與立體迴旋產生辯證。
藝術家認為「立體是平面的堆砌，平面是立體的開展，雕塑就像一條彩帶圈圍而成的立體面，好比一個紙盒在封閉後是立體的，展開時是平面的。」觀者繞行本作品360度，都能發掘出作品不同的面貌，並於觀看過程中成為作品的一部分，這正是藝術家想要突破的平面與立面的分野。
