Artist's Interpretation:This piece aims to transmit the educational spirit of Breaking Waves-to transcend the individual self, Dreaming-to be strong and steadfast, and Flying-to be ambitious” while expressing the excellent, innovative and macroscopic view of Tu-Cheng High School. The image of the vessel breaking waves expresses the courage to be fearless and to transcend one’s individual self and that of transforming waves into mountains means that students should keep dreaming and be steadfast while learning. Extraordinary achievements are accumalated through self-cultivation and knowledge. Meanwhile, through the “flying” image, the artist reveals the anticipation of students holding aspirations and pursuing ambitions without any fear.
