Hero: Fierce Bovine Pioneer is located in the Bovine Military Camp of the Zuoying marine base and inspired by bulls’ horns. The V-shaped, sharp blade-like artwork symbolizes victory in missions and in battle, whereas flame-like designs symbolize soldiers’ bravery and fearlessness as they charge through enemy lines. At the bottom of the artwork is a stainless-steel mirror that reflects the piece, forming the visual effect of blazing flames that convey the marines’ motto of “fearless in the face of hardship, difficulty, and death.”
海軍陸戰隊是國軍的兩棲武裝部隊，負責兩棲作戰、島嶼攻防戰、登陸作戰等特種任務，隊訓為「永遠忠誠」。
設置於左營海軍陸戰隊火牛營區的公共藝術《英雄—火牛先鋒》，以牛角為發想，線條猶如鋒銳兵刃，作品呈現「V」字形，象徵各項任務與戰役獲得勝利(victor)之涵義，火焰圖案則寓意前線軍人勇敢無畏、衝鋒陷陣之精神。作品底部運用不鏽鋼鏡射鋪面圖案，形成熊熊火焰的視覺效果。整體作品呼應海軍陸戰隊「不怕苦、不怕難、不怕死」的三不怕精神。
