Presidential Gift 剪紙肖像元首贈禮
CONCEPT
The year 2025 marks the 27th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Republic of the Marshall Islands and Taiwan, symbolizing the deep friendship and ongoing exchanges between the two nations. This ceremonial paper-cutting artwork draws inspiration from the Marshall Islands’ tropical charm—its rustling banana leaves and gentle coconut rains—and evokes the oceanic bond often likened to a “Pacific Pearl.” It reflects the intricate beauty born from the interweaving of nature and culture.
At the heart of the composition are the portraits of President Hilda Heine and the First Gentleman, surrounded by motifs of coconut fronds, pandanus leaves, and other traditional plant-fiber weaving patterns—symbols of the resilience and wisdom of island peoples. Set against a backdrop of blue skies and crystal-clear seas, the piece conveys the pure and enduring connection between island nations, and stands as a symbol of Taiwan and the Marshall Islands moving forward hand in hand toward a sustainable future.
2025年是馬紹爾群島與台灣建交27週年，象徵兩國深厚友誼與持續交流。此次國禮剪紙作品，以馬紹爾的蕉風椰雨為靈感，結合「太平洋珍珠」般的海洋情誼，展現自然與文化的交織之美。畫面中融合海妮總統與第一先生的肖像，搭配象徵當地文化的椰葉、林投果葉等植物纖維編織意象，呼應島嶼人民的韌性與智慧。整體構圖以藍天碧海為背景，傳遞島國間純粹而深遠的連結，也象徵台馬雙方攜手同行，共創永續未來。
