武玉玲(b.1971) 屏東縣三地門鄉大社部落排灣族人。因八八風災遷至禮納里部落，此前武玉玲多著重原住民工藝設計，風災後開始朝向裝置藝術的創作。她自小隨母親編織製作配飾，爾後以自己的新創意將金工技法帶入編織與串珠，為名符其實的Pulima(手藝精細之人)。同時身為大社部落排灣族公主，銜命傳承，她說：「若想要傳統文化兼具現代的手法表現，就必須找回文化的根本，這樣才能創作出有生命力的作品。」其創作題材常以傳統祭典、族群意識以及自我探索等，以女性角度反應文化生命翻動的故事，作品散發出女性特色。

作品形塑人體最重要的生命之源―心臟，以紅花代表女性凸顯社會結構的形成；女人是生命軸與源頭，部落、大地、河流皆因女人而美麗、生動並得以傳承。

Aruwai Kaumakan (b. 1971) is a member of the Paiwan village, Paridrayan, in Sandimen Township, Pingtung County. After the disaster caused by Typhoon Morakot, she has settled down in Rinari Village. She used to create indigenous crafts and designs, but after the disaster, she started making installation art. As a child, her mother taught her to weave accessories. Later, she incorporated her own creativity and combined techniques of metal work with the crafts of weaving and beading, rendering herself a real “Pulima” (a person excels in making fine craftworks with hands). Aruwai Kaumakan is also the Paiwan princess of Paridrayan and carries the mission of passing down the legacy on her shoulder. According to her, “to combine both traditional culture and modern expression, one must return to the cultural root to create works with real vitality.” Her works often reflect the themes of traditional ceremony, community consciousness and self-exploration, voicing the stories of evolving culture from a female perspective and displaying unique feminine characteristics.

This work depicts the most important source of life in the human body, the heart. The red flower symbolizes women as well as the formation of society. Women are the center line and the origin of life to indigenous villages, land and rivers; and because of women, they are beautiful and have flourished through generations.
