A Letter from Grandpa Zuojhen explores the archaeological discovery of Zuojhen, once celebrated as Taiwan’s earliest human, through a poetic lens. This work weaves vivid, hyper-realistic imagery with meditative reflections on the trajectory of human civilization and local culture. By blending intimate and expansive historical narratives, it dissolves the boundaries between personal and collective histories, offering a more holistic perspective. The piece also grapples with profound existential questions: Where do we come from? Where are we going?
