Geocache Description:


光之穹頂 設於本站地下一樓穹頂大廳,由國際知名藝術家水仙大師(Maestro Narcissus Quagliata)親手繪製,並由德國百年Derix手工玻璃工作坊製作[4],歷時四年半,直徑達30公尺,面積為660平方公尺。依創作主題共分成四大區塊(quadrant),共有16個小區塊(section),1,252扇窗(window),每面窗有2至9片「窗面」(panel),每面窗面有3-100片玻璃鑲嵌而成。 「光之穹頂」上的各個人體交相呼應,所傳達的「包容」精神,更展現作品「水」、「土」、「光」、「火」四大區塊的意涵,呈現出人在世界裡,從誕生、成長、榮耀到毀滅,而後重生的輪迴過程。水仙大師的創作理念表示:「透過這件作品,我想傳達人性的價值,人與人、環境、及萬物之間的關係;人天合一的境界,以及人心在仇恨鬥爭中失去的部分。」水仙大師強調,提出了一個觀點:「讓旅客凝望穹頂時,找到一個作夢的地方,提供一個自由思考與想像的公共藝術空間」。在作品完成時,水仙大師曾整整一天無法開口說話[5]。 2015年9月23日 - 高雄捷運上午發表光之穹頂2.0版,將原本只是靜態呈現的光之穹頂、搭配上定時光炫幻影秀,讓民眾透過聲光效果感受藝術魅力[6]。

The station is known for its "Dome of Light", the largest glass work in the world.[5] It was designed by Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata.[6] It is 30 metres in diameter and covers an area of 2,180 square metres. It is made up of 4,500 glass panels.[7] The dome will be offered as venues for weddings. Situated at the Kaohsiung MRT transfer station for the Red Line and Orange Line (Formosa Boulevard Station), the Dome of Light was created by renowned artist Narcissus Quagliata. The dome is the world's largest public art installation made from individual pieces of colored glass. The work not only adds to the beauty of the station, but also adds a new dimension to the art life of the Kaohsiung and creates a new scenic spot in the city.

The Dome of Light took nearly four years to complete. The work was overseen personally by Quagliata and shipped from Germany for installation at the station. The dome tells the story of human life in four chronologically arranged themes: Water: The Womb of Life; Earth: Prosperity and Growth; Light: The Creative Spirit; and Fire: Destruction and Rebirth, with an overall message of love and tolerance. The dome has a 30-meter diameter and covers an area of 660 square meters. The lead glass panes were created and assembled according to a full-scale blueprint created by Quagliata to produce a creative new departure from this millennia old art form.
