Found in the Kaisyuan Metro Station, The Age of Dreams was created by Yuma Taru, an Atayal artist who received the honorary title of “important preserver of traditional art.” The piece, made from ramie and hand-dyed wool yarn (mediums rarely used in public art), reveal the labor and “natural colors” in indigenous tribes via delicate interweaving techniques.
The fiber materials showcase a contrast between lines and texture as well as unique textural strength. Hidden in simple artwork are natural conditions and social customs of Yuma’s homeland as well as a place of physical and mental comfort for those who travel to cities to pursue their dreams.
夢想的模樣是什麼呢？
捷運凱旋站的作品《築夢時代》由擁有「重要傳統藝術保存者」名譽的泰雅織染藝師尤瑪．達陸(Yuma Taru)所創作。以公共藝術中罕見的苧麻及手染羊毛紗作為媒材，將原住民對自然色彩與勞動的美學，透過細膩的技藝交織而出。
材質纖維展現出線條、紋理的對比及獨特的質感力度，蘊藏在簡潔樸實作品中的，既是原鄉的風土，也是給予來到都市逐夢的族人身心撫慰的溫柔山林。
詩意又溫柔的築夢基地，獻給這座城市每位懷抱夢想、勇敢追夢的人們。
