Standing tall and upright in The Pier-2 Art Center, Refute the Waves is an artwork featuring a pair of paddles. Created by artist Liang Ren-hong, this artwork depicts paddles that move in the air when wind blows. The paddles’ natural environment is changed from blue seas to a clear sky, ingeniously connecting sea and land as well as people and land. This is a symbol of Kaohsiung citizens and the “sea genes” that have been passed down from generation to generation. Additionally, it suggests that where there is sea breeze, there are waves; where there are sea waves, there is home.
由藝術家梁任宏創作的作品《駁浪》，矗立於駁二藝術特區的街道上，外型為一對船槳，風起時，船槳便隨風划動。原本應在水中划動的船槳來到了陸地，原本被船槳打起的浪潮換成了街上往來的人潮，原本擁抱船隻的蔚藍海洋變成抬頭一望的晴朗天空，透過船槳這個簡單的符碼，《駁浪》巧妙地將海洋與陸地串連了起來，也串連起陸地上的人們與海洋的連結，或許這也是刻劃在這片土地上海港子民體內世代傳承的海洋基因，有吹起海風的地方就有海潮，有海潮的地方就是家鄉。
