The Turenscape Concept: Nature, man and spirits as one
Earth(Tu), the center of the universe we perceived,
the base of all lives, symbolizes the livings and the spirits
of what we dwell. Receives and accumulates energy from the
heaven, it nourishes those grow as well as those move. Our
forefathers visualized the horizons of the land with the vertical
Sacred Trees, the axis for the Sun to rise and fall and the
ladders for the spirits to travel up and down. This is why
our legendary exiled king Chong-er worshipped a handful of
earth from the natives as a sign of prosperity of the society.
Man(Ren), claimed as the superior of lives,
being favored too much yet not satisfied, cut the Sacred Trees,
taste the Forbidden Fruits and destroy the Eden. We, Turen,
but deliver the messages from the spirits of the land to waken
our fellow dwellers, adapt the nature's Taos to cure the great
suffers, and refer to the cultural context to enrich our deprived
minds.
Turen (Earth-man/natives), therefor, act in
the name of the Heaven (nature), and as the messengers of
the spirits of our native forebears. Armed with modern technology,
Turen observes the phenomenon up in the sky and the patterns
down on the earth; follow the natural and social processes
so that man, nature and the spirits can be understood as one
and designed as one. This is the Turenscape Concept.
