The site of the work is the reclaimed land near Taiwan Taitung Dawu Harbor. It connects the Heart of Dawu and the Harbor, serving as the start of the highway and the seaway. From the Heart of Dawu, the Blue Eternity looks like a home; while from the harbor, it looks like a ship’s bow. The concept is “a ship when you depart, a home when you return.” Standing on the sea dyke, the artwork becomes the new image of the harbor. When visitors walk around the work, the blue-green globe in the middle continues to break down and integrate. The crossroads in the work connect the mountain and the sea, the beacon and the piled up sand, anchoring our body to the land.
