#自然的頌歌
#與大地共存
「Come Into The Wild，
向天學雲海，向地學青苔，
我向天地學同在。
Come Into The Wild，
風吹樹會擺，
日去月會來，
我向自由學自在。」──〈Into the Wild〉蔡健雅
當整個世界過份喧囂，人人低頭，科技的冷漠，先進的破壞，一切有違天地萬物的自然法則，大地之母也開始發聲，更加彰顯出人類的自私與貪婪⋯⋯。
以「WELA」作為筆名的視覺藝術家──Elisabeth Wierzbicka，出生於波蘭，自1989年起居住在法國，長期致力於保護環境且關注生態議題，其創作核心，涉及了人類與自然萬物間的關係，提點著彼此，共生共存的精神主義。她的作品橫跨裝置藝術、雕塑、油畫、插畫等多重領域，並曾在歐美、亞洲等國舉辦個展，其諸多公共雕塑藝術作品，更是被典藏於盧森堡、東京、巴黎、北京⋯⋯等當地博物館。
WELA擅以隱喻的手法，俯拾來自各個領域的思想，並以藝術發聲，在某些作品中，同時大量運用鏡像的設計，讓觀者面對鏡子裏的自己，真實映照自我，探索內心的微觀宇宙。在她的作品中，常見以線條柔軟，且構圖繁瑣的筆觸，來象徵自然界中川流不息的意識狀態，WELA提及：「多年來我開發出一種與大眾接觸的交流方式，講述人類與其資源、創造力與自然界的關係。藝術不能解決問題，但能夠激發我們的敏感性與好奇心，我深切關注所在意的事情，並加入想像力及創造性，讓藝術如生活，二元並存，並與快樂和痛苦擦肩而過。」
"Come Into The Wild, learn the sea from heaven, learn moss from the earth." Elisabeth Wierzbicka, also known as "WELA", was born in Poland and has lived in France since 1989, working on environmental protection and focusing on the issues at its core, involving the relationship between human beings and natural objects, and the spiritual principle of coexistence. Her works span multiple domains such as installation, sculpture, oil, illustration, etc., and have been exhibited in the United States, Europe and other countries, and her many public sculpture works are also in the museums worldwide such as Lusenburg, Beijing, Paris, Beijing, etc. WELA is good at using metaphorical techniques, leaning over ideas from various domains, and in order to develop, in some works, at the same time a large number of images, so that the face of the mule's own, really reflect on the self, explore the inner micro-universe. In her works, often in the soft, and complex way, to symbolize the natural flow. "Over the years, I have developed a great way of communicating with people, about their origins, their power, and their nature," WELA said. "I can't solve problems, but it stimulates our sensitivity and curiosity, and I pay deep attention to what I mean, and add imagination and creativity to life, duality, and pleasure and pain."
