2019-2022 Faces of Lingerers 幼時於Kasavakan首次參與與死亡相關的祭儀，之後持續地夢到與野獸一同奔跑於山林之間；這些夢境與成年後參與Mangayaw的經歷，及家族降巫儀式中的夢境不約而同，而夢境在Kasavakan的祭儀文化中，扮演著不可或缺的重要元素。 在Mangayaw中，死亡象徵著生命的交換與延續。為了部落的永續發展，我們透過食用獵物，使其成為我們的一部分，而我們也融入牠們的生命循，我們變成了祂們，祂們變成了我們。為了紀念逝去的生命，儀式成為了人與萬物靈魂溝通的橋樑。 Kasavakan在歷經殖民歷史與外來文化的影響後，對自然的崇拜與溝通已發展出多樣且混合的形式，透過觀察這些祭儀文化的變體路徑，找到了自己混血身份的新立足點。 以頭像為媒介，解構並重組人與動植物的外貌與圖騰符號，試圖創造一個新的崇拜場域，實踐泛靈信仰的生活方式，並以儀式性的生命態度，面對南島文化與多元文化共存的未來。 In my childhood,Ｉfirst participated in a death-related ritual in Kasavakan and afterwards.I continuously dreamt of running through the mountains alongside wild beasts. These dreams coincide with my experiences in adulthood participating in the Mangayaw and the dreams encountered during my family's shamanic rituals.Dream plays an indispensable and significant role in the ritual culture of Kasavakan, In Mangayaw, death symbolizes the exchange and continuation of life. For the sustainable development of the community, we consume the hunted animals.Making them a part of us while we also integrate into their life cycle; we become them, and they become us. The rituals serve as a bridge for communicating with the souls of all living things to commemorate the lives that have passed. After experiencing the influence of colonial history and foreign cultures, the worship and communication with nature in Kasavakan have developed into diverse and mixed forms. By observing the varied paths of these ritual cultures, I found a new foothold for my mixed heritage identity. Using portraits as a medium, I deconstruct and reorganize the appearances and totemic symbols of humans and plants and animals, attempting to create a new worship space that practices a way of life based on animism. With a ritualistic attitude toward life, I face the future of coexistence between Austronesian culture and multiculturalism. Notes: (1) Kasavakan: The name of one of ten Pinuyumayan comunities.
