동해안의 긴 여름 찬란한 햇빛 아래, 산과 바다 만물은 반짝반짝 빛나며 선명하고 아름답다.
만약 이곳이 이탈리아였다면, 해변 곳곳에 산뜻하고 아름다운 양산이 보이고, 썬 베드 그리고 햇볕 쬐는 것을 즐기는 사람들을 볼 수 있을 것이다.
이와 반대로 대만 사람은 피부가 하얀 것을 아름다움이라 여겨, 다들 햇볕 쬐는 것을 좋아하지 않는다.
그래서 동해안에 일광욕을 하는 인체 모양 설치 작품을 만들었다.
한가로이 거니는 동해안 산과 바다 사이의 여행객을 불러 눈으로 무한한 풍경을 실컷 보는 것 외에도,
온몸으로 바닷바람 중의 염분을 느끼며, 지구를 비추는 생명의 근원인 햇빛의 입맞춤을 느끼길 바란다.
