Whale Island

Taiwan is an island country. Although it is surrounded by the sea, its people fear the sea because the politics, history and religious beliefs held on this island make them turn their backs on it.

Oceanic literature author LIAO Hung-chi and underwater photographer Ray CHIN lead the audience out to the sea and into the water. They prompt us to understand the sea and to think about the possibility that the ocean might become our lives and the future of our country.

Taiwan is not only an island but also a sleeping whale. Since a whale does not belong to the land, it must wake up and swim towards a future full of possibilities.
