During the Japanese occupation period, Kawabata Town (now Yingxueli) in Taipei had a natural river ditch 8 meters wide. On the nights in summer, you will see fireflies spark in the grass, and people will come to catch fireflies in the evening. A wooden bridge over the river is therefore called "Firefly Bridge". Over time, the ditches were eventually filled in as commercial areas in urban planning, replaced by lights and traffic at night. It has a scene similar to the fireflies streamer. This creation as an imagination, the fireflies turn into giant wild geese, and continue to accompany the residents of Kawabata Town in different way.
日據時期台北的川端町（今瑩雪里），有一條8米寬的天然河溝。春夏交接的夜晚，螢火蟲會在茅草間飛舞，人們在傍晚會相約到河邊捕捉螢火蟲。河上的一座木橋因此被稱作為『螢橋』。隨時間推移，溝渠最後在都市規劃中填平作為商業區，取而代之的是夜晚中發亮的燈火與車流。有著和螢火蟲流光相似的景象。這件作品作為想像，讓螢火蟲們幻化成為巨大的野雁，並以不同的樣貌繼續陪伴螢橋的居民。
"Taipei's New Story - The Story of Taipei River"
It's a project inviting ten different designers/artists to make Taipei city's river embankment an urban picture book that tells the local culture.With those unique creative styles of each designers and artists, we create an urban aesthetic that combines local stories.
《 臺北新畫堤 ─ 臺北河堤故事 》透過邀請不同藝術家在深度人文匯集、地景地貌的蒐集與統整，並運用美感與專業將每一處河堤成為訴說地方文化的城市繪本。本企劃改變了以往公家機關施作堤壁時主題單一且與四周環境景觀不和諧的情況，藉此次計畫將全臺北市的堤壁串聯起來。邀請了十位設計師共同參與，借助設計師與藝術家獨特的創作風格，創造出結合地方特色的城市美學。
This giant mural is 100 meters long and 9 meters high. Zhongzheng Riverside Park is located in the middle of Taipei Wild Goose Reserve. Through this mural, we look forward to reinterpreting the vision of lights, fireflies and wild geese during the Japanese occupation period, so that the embankment is no longer just a dike, but a new chapter of the river story.
螢雪里河堤壁畫全長100公尺，高9公尺。中正河濱公園位於台北野雁保護區中帶，透過這件作品我們期待重新去詮釋日治時期關於螢火蟲、螢橋、野雁三者的聯想，讓堤防不再只是堤防，而是延續關於這裡的新篇章。
The wall is an earthen embankment with a slope of nearly 45 degrees. Overcoming the physical difficulties is the first thing we learned, plus the whole length is a full 100 meters. The process this creation is very challenging.
牆面是接近45度傾斜的土堤坊，在創作時最先克服體能上的困難，加上長度整整100公尺之大，作品產出的過程十分具挑戰性。
Although the old bridge and fireflies disappeared after urban planning, people still use the names of Firefly Bridge Elementary School, Park, and Station to cherish the old memory. This time, in the way of the public workshop, the elders were invited to draw memories of Yingxueli and we transform them into various window grilles in the background.
雖然舊螢橋與螢火蟲在都市規劃中填平後隨著消失，我們仍使用螢橋國小、螢橋公園、螢橋車站遺址等名字，去懷念關於這座橋的與螢火蟲的記憶。這次也以里民工作營的方式，邀請耆老畫下關於瑩雪里的回憶，並轉化為各式窗花的背景。
