Pingtung is a windy region. Usually when I create artwork, I tend to create robust pieces that can withstand the wind, but for this work, I decided to take advantage of the strong winds. The force of the wind turns the shaft through the windmill, which in turn moves the wheels and ultimately transfers energy to all the wheels.
This work can also be rowed by humans to move the wheels. Visitors can experience the same energy as the strong winds of Pingtung being generated by human power.
The bicycle wheels used are parts of bicycles that were once used as rental bicycles in the area. The wheels were once discarded, but the way they spin and shine is very beautiful.
We hope that “Wind Wheel” will revive the discarded bicycle wheels in the region and keep them moving as a new symbol of the community.
