During a residency at Makotaay Eco-Art Village in Hualien, Malaysian artist Raito Low was deeply moved by the harmony of nature expressed by the Amis people, an Indigenous group native to Taiwan. There, she rediscovered stones—not as lifeless objects, but as soft, story- filled forms shaped by time. This insight inspired her stop-motion work, later developed into the picture book Like Water, We Flow , in collaboration with writer Ma Li. Her poetic text and Raito’s gentle visuals blend into a surreal, flowing narrative where stones speak quietly, like water—tender, powerful, and alive.
