〈汐靈族〉是我長期創作計劃《混種殘片系統》中的一個子模組，靈感源自臺南一座因泥沙淤積而失去航運功能的古港；當我沿著被泥灘覆蓋的古港線行走，地質斷面、橋南老街的杉板壁、被潮水帶走又帶回的陶瓷破片與藥材氣味，都像是散落的單位，彼此靠近、又彼此割裂。
那些消失的潮聲、沉入地層的港口氣味，在特定的風向與月光角度下，像是對我伸出某種泥煤觸手，在這片曾是海、又不再是海的地景，持續震盪出某種緩慢而深沉的脈動潮汐。
我稱牠為「汐靈（Tidal Spirits）」。牠在瘀泥裡形成，半是地景殘留的記憶，半是來自當地鄉野傳說林投姐的怨聲與殘句；牠呢喃著風聲與泥沙，嘗試重組已被遺忘的航線與河道。
Tidal Spirits is a sub module within my long term project Hybrid Fragment System.
The work is inspired by an ancient harbor in Tainan that lost its navigational function due to sediment accumulation. As I walked along the former harbor line now covered by mudflats, geological cross sections, cedar plank walls of the old Qiaonan Street, ceramic fragments carried away and returned by the tide, and the scent of medicinal herbs all appeared as scattered units. They drift close to one another while remaining severed.
The vanished sounds of tides and the harbor scents buried within geological layers, under specific wind directions and angles of moonlight, seemed to extend peat like tendrils toward me. Within this landscape that was once sea and is no longer sea, they continue to vibrate with a slow and profound tidal pulse.
I call this entity Tidal Spirits. It forms within silt, composed partly of residual landscape memory and partly of grievances and fragments drawn from local folk legends surrounding the Screw Pine Maiden. It murmurs with wind and sediment, attempting to reassemble forgotten shipping routes and waterways.
