勝利進行曲-鋼鐵勁旅

作品說明：
許多人孩提時代保家衛國的夢想和志向，在青少年時期化為鋼鐵超人和軍事模型的組裝，並在此過程學習專注與合作，投射對未來的想像、堅定防衛國家的決心。這群胸懷大志的青少年，投身軍旅為國家服務時，必能以他/她的專業素養和能力，安國保民，融我力於戰力，凝聚專業團隊的活力與朝氣。作品從青少年組裝軍事模型的視角出發，欲傳達他們的懷抱與熱情，也希望藉由形似模型的視覺張力，在場域中營造昂揚姿態，呼應機械戰士強而有力的手臂，形塑機械化步兵全方位的精實形象，並透過環形動態的景觀，加深營區同袍的認同感與歸屬感。

Introduction：
Many people dream of defending their nation when they are children, but as youths they are more interested in robots and assembling military models. However, it is in this period that they learn about focus and cooperation, elements that are reflected in the way they imagine the future and their resolute determination to protect the homeland. When these ambitious young people serve the nation by joining the military, they seek to utilize their professional training and expertise to defend peace and protect the people, dedicating their individual strengths to fighting and thereby better focusing the energy and vigor of professional military units. This work was inspired by young people assembling military models, but focuses on their embrace of the pastime and enthusiasm. It also uses the visual tension of what appears to be a model to create a high-spirited atmosphere in the location where the piece is installed, echoing the powerful arms of mechanized infantry soldiers. The piece presents a stripped-down image of the all-encompassing mechanized infantry, while using the circular dynamic landscape to strengthen the sense of identity and belonging among comrades living on the base.
