創作理念：
我們會受傷，但堅強的人們還是能夠重拾碎片再度「拼回來」，如同花蓮並不會因為一場大地震而被擊倒，因為挫折，我們反能更加堅強茁壯。

創作背景：
2018年2月6日大地震造成花蓮嚴重災情，有感於災後地方石材產業受損嚴重，由在地圖文創作者Duncan發起，結合精通石雕技藝的三位藝術家，希冀藉由各自所長，利用具在地文化價值之素材共同創作一象徵重振精神的公共藝術作品，籌備期間惠納地方人士捐贈與各級單位之支持，本作品才能完整呈現於大眾面前。作品以破損石材堆疊後進行雕刻創作，並選址於此，即前身為舊監獄遺跡的自由廣場。而平日於自強外役監獄教授石雕技藝的藝術家們，亦盼於本古蹟場域傳達“拼回自己的人生”之正面附加喻意。

Creative intent:
People get hurt, but the strong ones pick up the pieces and put them back together again. Similarly, Hualien will not be defeated by an earthquake, because setbacks make us stronger.

Creative background:
On February 6, 2018, Hualien was devastated by a massive earthquake. Seeing that Hualien’s stone industry suffered major loss, a local illustrator proposed building a public art display out of local materials. With the help of three master sculptors, donations from the public, and the support of the local government, the piece was finally completed and unveiled. Rocks broken in the earthquake were stacked and sculpted, and the sculpture was erected at Freedom Square on the grounds of Hualien’s former prison. The sculptors, who teach sculpting to inmates at Ziciang Minimum-Security Prison, also hope that erecting the sculpture at this historic site conveys the positive meaning of “putting one’s life back together.”
