Introduction
The golden reed snake is a protected species in the Shilan Mountain area of Yilan. From a flute, held by a butterfly and a Formosan macaque, it plays a melody that awakens the human heart. The butterfly’s transparent wings are a gift from nature, symbolizing its yearning for flight and the hope that has never been abandoned.
The snake coils around a chess piece that has turned into an hourglass, narrating the crisis of extinction and the passage of time, yet it does not yield. The Formosan macaque also joins the performance, representing common species and guarding those lives that are on the brink of disappearance.
At the other end, the endangered Formosan large-tipped swallowtail butterfly stands still on a scale, balancing a coin and a green sprout, symbolizing the ongoing struggle between economy and ecology. As the music flows, she poses an urgent question: How can we find true balance between money and ecology?
Although the chessboard has cracked, hope has never been extinguished.
