Pangcah
Category: Apparel
Competitions: Taiwan Region
“Pangcah” means “people of the same tribe” in the Amis language. It is how the people in my hometown refer to one another—with a sense of praise and shared identity. This work is inspired by my mother, aunts, and maternal relatives—women who are both strong and gentle, embodying the unique strength of Amis women. In our matrilineal society, the role of women is deeply significant. The vivid contrast of red and black represents the passionate and energetic atmosphere I feel when celebrating with my people in the Fata'an tribe. It carries my deep emotional connection and cherished memories of the community.
