My masters project examines the connection of Taiwanese social identity to
landscape. Focusing on Oceanic Culture, my study reflects on past and present cultural
relations between the people of Taiwan and the ocean. In outlining the historical
contexts of Taiwanese Oceanic Culture, I aim to articulate issues of contemporary
diaspora in Taiwanese society. My project argues that art plays a significant role in
resolving issues of displacement by responding to the landscape. I have analyzed the
work of contemporary Taiwanese artists and as a means of more closely understanding
these issues, and have completed my own body of work, made up of painting,
sculpture, photography and drawing.
