Located in the Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine (Siaogang Branch), Golden Eyes is an artwork featuring a gold-colored eyeball emitting gold wires on a “flame of justice” that grows with the wind. The artwork represents panopticon control, keeping a close eye on operations that prevent the presence of pests and diseases.
The creator expanded upon Sun Wukong’s speciality “golden eyes” to design an artwork that can identify forces of evil, urging the bureau to uphold its role in animal and plant health inspection and quarantine. A general outline was used to portray fire, and a simple color was added to evoke a sense of power. This artwork ties the bureau and public health together, highlighting the importance of epidemic prevention as well as creating a positive image.
銅色眼珠向外發散出顫動的金絲，正義的火苗從中燃起順風而上，大而圓的金睛帶著火焰佇立在小港區動植物防疫檢驗局，作品《火眼金睛》彷彿萬物皆在其掌控之中，嚴格把關，防杜疫病蟲害的侵入。
藝術家從孫悟空的獨門絕技「火眼金睛」延伸發想，以具備識別妖魔鬼怪能力的雙眼，呼應檢驗局扮演動植物防疫與把關的角色。概括式的輪廓勾勒出火的形象，單純的色彩顯得精簡有力，緊扣防疫檢驗局的社會功能與公共健康的關係，突顯防疫的重要性與機構形象。
