The best way to understand Taiwanese cul-ture is through our food, and night market snacks represent a part of the locals’ dai-ly lives. The bustling night market is where you can experience the passion, crea-tivity, and sensory pleasures of Taiwan’s food culture. People come to fill their bellies and discover new sensory enjoy-ments.
This art installation offers an interpreta-tion of the unique local character. Water flows forth from the two pilgrim’s gourds, symbolizing the endless pleasures the mar-ket offers to the eye, ear, mouth, and nose. The stainless-steel eye, ear, mouth, and nose indicates the pleasant sight and sound experience accompanied with sweet aromas and delicious delicacies; and the two ceramic pilgrim’s gourds are embossed with the two characters “Feng Yuan”, which is not only the name of this district but also carries the concept of abundance (the literal meaning of Fengyuan is “field of abundance”).
