《海洋之舞》以公共藝術座落西子灣入口，與周遭地景可形成巧妙的聯繫。首先，作品是由三隻鯨魚組成「人」字形，象徵以人為本，由另個角度看過去，則是「入」字，代表入口，正可作為迎賓的地標。面海觀賞時，鯨魚像是在海上舞動，夕陽西下時，則如三鯨拱日，若站在適當角度，還可以看到夕陽逐漸落入鯨魚鏤空的位置，形成鯨魚吞日的奇觀。

由於西子灣緊鄰高雄港，可以看到輪船成為海平面上緩緩移動的風景。輪船作為船中的巨人，與鯨魚的形象相襯，《海洋之舞》以鯨魚躍出水面共舞的意象，則可象徵海港的繁榮。

那是純粹的恩典，神奇的舞蹈

皮耶‧薩維提（Pierre Cerviotti）年輕時於世界各地漂旅，數次觀賞到鯨魚浮出海面，見證了這份大自然的奇蹟，這是由鯨魚、水與空氣組成的優美芭蕾，介於天地之間。讓他深受感動，成為今日創作的靈感。

然而，曾經如此強大的生命氣息，到了今天卻如此脆弱。

本件作品的法文名稱,《C'est assez》，意思是「夠了」，目前鯨豚類正遭受全球暖化、海洋污染、工業捕魚等種種威脅，Cerviotti希望透過這件作品，讓我們正視這份大自然的奇蹟，停止對海洋的破壞，才有機會在未來繼續歌頌海洋之舞。 H.W.Z

“C’est assez”sits at the entrance of Sizihwan as a piece of public art, subtly blending into its surroundings. This piece is constituted of three whales in the shape of “人,” or human in Mandarin. Looking from the back, it seems like “入,” the character for “entrance.” This piece serves as a welcoming sign for those visiting this site. When facing the sea, the whales appear dancing on the ocean’s surface. During sunset, these animals stand with the setting sun. From a right angle, you can observe the sun setting into the space surrounded by the whales, as if the whales are swallowing the sun.

Because Sizihwan is right next to Kaohsiung Harbor, the slowing-moving ships on the sea are a familiar scene. Ships are the giants among boats, and their figures echo that of the whales. “The Dance of the Ocean” uses the figures of whales jumping out of the water to symbolize the prosperity of Kaohsiung Harbor.

That is a pure blessing and fantastic dancing.

Pierre Cerviotti traveled across the world while he was young. Many times he witnessed majestic scenes of whales emerging from the ocean. The spectacle was the ballet formed by whales, water, and air between the sky and the horizon. This experience touched him deeply and inspired his works.

However, the life forms that were once so powerful have become fragile nowadays.

The French title of this work is “C'est assez,” meaning “enough.” Whales are threatened by global warming, ocean pollution, and industrial fishing. Cerviotti hopes that creating this piece will allow us to face this natural miracle and stop destroying oceanic environments so that we can praise the dance of the ocean in the future.
