l  Artist’s Statement

The estuary of Gongsitian River was the historical site where French troops retreated through. After being assailed from various sides, French troops fled to the estuary in great flurries and waited for boats coming for evacuation. To show the difficult situations encountered by French troops, tricolor steel pipes are scattered on the sand and the boats to symbolize wounded and fatigued French soldiers. Historical events in the epilogue of Battle of Tamsui are introduced to viewers with simple and straightforward modern art forms.
