On a Dayi Warehouse south wall that faces the sea is a square space featuring a statue of Mazu made by artist Weng Guo-sung using stainless steel wires. The grey, sparse, and interlaced metallic wires and motley warehouse walls flawlessly complement each other, reflecting the peaceful sacredness of temple spaces.
Mazu is a sea goddess in the coastal regions of East Asia who is also closely linked to marine culture. The Pier-2 Art Center was previously a port warehouse converted into an art center; it preserves the elements of piers, sea breezes, and seas. Weng’s Mazu is not only an installation art, but also a protector of local culture.
在大義倉庫群面海的南牆，一處方形空間中，藝術家翁國嵩以其擅長的不鏽鋼線材纏繞出一座媽祖像，線條的疏密交錯、金屬線材灰色調的色澤，以及斑駁的倉庫牆面，彼此之間形成巧妙的輝映，虛實之間流露出信仰的神聖性與祥和感，彷若真的神龕鑲嵌於此處。
媽祖為東亞沿海地區的海神信仰，也與海洋文化緊密相連。駁二前身為港口倉庫，即便歷經時代轉變，以藝術特區之姿重生，碼頭、海風、海洋仍是在地本色。這座出自藝術家之手的媽祖像，既是藝術裝置創作，也是對在地文化脈絡的連結與守護。
