「在學習運用構樹的智慧中，我們逐漸領悟如何與自然互動並共生。」
"In learning to use the wisdom of the paper mulberry we gradually understand how to interact with and coexist with nature."
黑色特工隊在屏東重新發掘了構樹的魅力，進而將其作為創作的主要材料。他們發現，構樹因生長迅速且繁殖力強，常被農民定期砍除，成為方便取得的資源，也展現了就地取材的古老智慧。構樹的魅力在於其廣泛的應用範圍。透過敲擊，可將樹皮延展成布料，創造出兼具功能性與美感的作品。此外，構樹工藝的製作工具簡單，只需鐵錘即可完成，使創作過程更貼近日常生活。黑色特工隊成員王雅蘭表示，他們希望作品能將傳統技藝融入現代生活，不僅體現文化傳承，更與土地建立深厚的連結。
近期推出的「留白蒔光」燈具系列，設計靈感源自自然中的光影變化。透過敲打與精緻的塑形技術，作品展現了構樹的層次與光影效果。這些燈具不僅是實用的家居用品，也象徵了工藝家對材料特性的深刻理解，成功地將傳統技藝與現代設計語彙完美結合。
Dark Incredible rediscovered the paper mulberry in Pingtung, making it the core of their creations. With rapid growth and strong reproduction, these trees are often cut down by farmers, providing an abundant, sustainable resource that reflects ancient wisdom in using local materials.The paper mulberry is highly versatile. By simply striking its bark, it can be stretched into fabric, combining practicality with beauty. Only a hammer is needed for crafting, making the process accessible and close to daily life. Wang Yalan from Dark Incredible expressed their hope to blend traditional craftsmanship with modern life, preserving cultural heritage while fostering a deep connection to the land.
The recently launched Illuminating Time lighting series is inspired by the changing light and shadows in nature. Through striking and delicate shaping techniques, the works display the layers and light effects of the tree. These light fixtures are not just practical household items but also symbolize the artisan's profound understanding of the material’s characteristics, successfully merging traditional craftsmanship with modern design.
黑色特工隊 Dark Incredible
黑色特工隊成立於2019年，由屏東排灣族與魯凱族的青年組成，成員包括王雅蘭、佬祖·魯魯安、顏裴晏和廖曉蓉。他們以構樹皮為主要創作素材，探索自然纖維工藝的可能性，並結合其他媒材創造生活物件與藝術裝置，展現原住民文化的深度與生命力。
構樹皮在原住民文化中具有重要地位，經過捶打技術可製成布料，象徵與自然緊密相連的生活智慧。黑色特工隊延續這項傳統工藝，並融入現代設計理念，在2022年創立品牌「黑色雋永」，將原住民工藝融入日常器物。其中，以構樹皮為主角的燈具系列尤為出色，透過纖維肌理與自然光影設計，打造溫暖質感的照明作品。這些作品不僅具實用性，更傳遞自然與文化交融的意象，展現當代工藝的獨特美學，此特色顯見於《留白蒔光》系列作品。
Dark Incredible was established in 2019, composed of young artists from the Puyuma and Rukai tribes in Pingtung. Members include Zepulj Kaluvung, Laucu Druluan, Yan Pei Yan and Ciku Idung. They use tree bark as their primary creative material, exploring the possibilities of natural fiber crafts while combining other mediums to create everyday objects and art installations that reflect the depth and vitality of indigenous culture.
Tree bark holds significant importance in indigenous culture; through beating techniques, it can be transformed into fabric, symbolizing the wisdom of living closely connected to nature. Dark Incredible continues this traditional craft while integrating modern design concepts. In 2022, they launched the brand Lumamiling, integrating Indigenous craftsmanship into daily objects. Notably, their lighting series highlights the natural textures of fibers and plays with light and shadow, creating warm and tactile designs. This unique aesthetic is exemplified in the Illuminating Time series.
