Yilan Science Park, the green belt on the Yike Rd’s sidewalk
 
This piece of art is titled "Time and Space" which illustrates the contrast and connections between the past and the future. The art work is divided into two parts, namely the supportive column is connected to the land's historical memories and the pair of wings is flying to the future. The supportive column is not just a connection to the past; it also symbolizes a runway that leads to the sky where a tower is sitting on the top. Additionally, surface textures intentionally show historical scars left by the wars. Pair of wings that represent the future are made of stainless steel with a mirror finish. This piece presents the wings' flapping against the wind fling in the air bathed in its blazing shining glory. Details of the wings are modeled after the antenna anticipating to at the science park broadcast the good news to the world like the products developed taking off from the base. This place once was the runway of Yilan's Southern Airport. Past and future co-exist on this land. As a symbol of time and space, this art work signifies a soar into the sky from this newly established innovative base. As a result, the "Time and Space" is like a miniaturized Yilan Science Park and it works with the laws of science and symbolizes a prosperous development of high tech industries, thriving in Yilan's history-embedded lands and piloting Taiwan to the brilliant future.
