Hualien Stone Sculpture Museum

Accidents are not necessarily accidents. Coincidences are not necessarily coincidences. Two rectangular slabs of stone are vertically presented with small, neatly arranged bars attached to their surface. They happen to be intertwined and embedded, drawing a metaphor to the connection between people and how their encounters are not just the products of pure chance. A particular occasion of chance might happen to open the door for the next coincidence. People are like the bars on the stone slabs, while the slabs themselves are the forces of fate that lead us to meet and get to know each other. In the end, these are all just clever arrangements by the powers that be.
