Breath
Yuchang Liang 、Architerior Design
Breathing is sited on the southern shore of Taoyuan Guanyin Beach, a liminal zone where ocean waves, tides, monsoon winds, and human activity converge. Across loose sand, salt-laden sea breeze, and ambient sound, visitors move slowly between inside and outside, re-attuning themselves to the fluid relationship between body and landscape amid shifting light, the sound of waves, and electric fans. The work consists of two arc-shaped walls approximately 2.5 meters in height, composed of glass bottles and steel plates, enclosing a circular space of approximately 3 meters in diameter. Narrow openings at the front and rear guide the gaze through and outward toward the distant coastline. The work seeks to open a node for pause and perception within an open, fluid landscape — where looking is no longer a fixed gaze, but an experience unfolded through bodily movement. Breathing is not a closed construction, but a spatial condition in continuous exchange with wind, light, and environment, inviting a renewed awareness of the ever-flowing relationship between oneself and the world — like breath itself.
