在一個偶然的機緣下，我發現一批日治時期遺留下來的標本，這批安置於臺南大學的標本並沒有公開展示，也甚少作為教學示範用途，僅塵封於一間狹小的研究室中。
我選定了這批標本中的一隻啄木鳥標本，邀請一位動物溝通師來使祂獻聲與我對話，透過動物溝通師的描述，實際走訪尋找祂生前所在的地方，並在這個地方架設我製作的啄木鳥機器，使啄木鳥的敲啄聲再次迴盪於林野之中，紀念這曾經存在於此的生命。
The artist came upon a handful of specimens from the Japanese occupation period. These specimens are stored away in Tainan University in a tiny lab away from the public and seldom used for teaching The artist chooses a woodpecker from amongst the specimens and invited a pet psychic so he could hear its voice and have a conversation. Through the descriptions of the pet psychic, the artist searched and found its former habitat. He set up his woodpecker apparatus so the pecking of the bird can reverberate through the woods again, commemorating the life that was there.
