Hi Mouse Land Art Introduction
In Penghu, the local pronunciation for dolphin is ‘hai-chu’, which also means ‘a good place of high quality’ (high + chu). Therefore, the design takes inspiration from both “dolphins” and “mice” to create the playful and lively character “Hai Shu.” Accompanying bicycle tourism, Hai Shu serves as one of the welcoming figures, with patterns on its body representing a reflection of local culture and characteristics. It not only captivates tourists but also resonates with the local community. Its most significant feature is that it contains many elements and meanings cherished by the Chinese, whether in its appearance with blue-and-white porcelain colors or in the specifications and totem content that are closely connected to Eastern culture. Blue-and-white porcelain is a form of artistic expression rich in Eastern characteristics, and the blue resonates with the island scenery of Penghu. This harmonious blend of sky and sea has become a popular photo spot for locals and tourists alike. The lively and playful Hai Shu stands under the sun, balancing a colorful ball, with a cheerful expression that is full of childlike joy. The design revolves around the number 8, which is a homophone for “fa” in Chinese, meaning prosperity. Additionally, the patterns encompass all the distinctive features of Penghu. Although Penghu is not large in area, it possesses rich cultural and creative resources, including the Double Heart Stone Weir, green sea turtles, and lighthouses. Hai Shu represents not only the local culture of Penghu but also plays an important role in fostering the vibrancy of the local tourism industry.
