‘’ 通過翹鼻的象徵,傳遞著智慧和指導..."


雅卡族的面具通常以抽象和幾何設計為主,這些設計反映了他們的世界觀和宗教信仰。面具上的圖案和紋飾是一種藝術形式,通過豐富多彩的設計、材料和顏色,以及深刻的宗教和文化背景,展示了這個民族的豐富傳統和創造力

雕塑,造型上完美地掌握了作品,既發揮了造型的平衡性,面部特徵和髮型卻簡單而精緻,略微上翹的鼻子,深眼眶內凸出的眼睛,超大的耳朵和嘴巴,三葉形帽。人物的圓形軀幹巨大,膝蓋處彎曲由有力的雙腿支撐而穩定,突出了這種姿勢的表現力和活力-彎曲,體積的不對稱性,經過斜角處理的棱角形。                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
這次展覽集合了六件雅卡族的代表作品,在雅卡文化中,翹鼻通常與智慧和祖先的知識聯繫在一起。人們相信祖先在雅卡社會中具有重要地位,通過面具和雕塑的翹鼻傳遞智慧和指導。它代表了與精神世界和祖先領域的聯繫。


"Through the symbol of the upturned nose, wisdom and guidance are conveyed..."

The masks of the Yaka people are often characterized by abstract and geometric designs that reflect their worldview and religious beliefs. The patterns and decorations on the masks serve as an artistic form that showcases the rich traditions and creativity of this ethnic group. With vibrant designs, materials, and colors, these works embody deep religious and cultural significance.

The sculptures are perfectly balanced in their form, yet the facial features and hairstyle remain simple yet exquisite. The nose, slightly upturned, the deep-set eyes protruding from their sockets, the oversized ears and mouth, and the three-leaf-shaped headdress all come together harmoniously. The rounded torso of the figure is large, with bent knees supported by powerful legs, emphasizing the expressive and dynamic posture. The asymmetry of the proportions and the angular treatment of the edges further highlight the energy and liveliness of the work.

This exhibition brings together six representative pieces from the Yaka culture. In Yaka tradition, the upturned nose is closely linked with wisdom and ancestral knowledge. It is believed that ancestors hold significant importance in Yaka society, and through the masks and sculptures with upturned noses, they convey wisdom and guidance. The upturned nose represents a connection with the spiritual world and the ancestral realm.

This showcase allows us to explore the intersection of cultural belief and artistic expression, as the symbolic power of the upturned nose carries messages of ancestral wisdom and guidance.
