“采蚝人”是位于台湾金门岛潮滩的一件环保艺术品：6米高采蚝人塑像退潮时站立在沙滩上；当海水涨潮变深时，塑像仿佛在3米深的海水中踏浪而行。渐渐地，塑像的腿上就粘满了蚝。在该艺术品中，塑像头带的中式帽子是小型太阳能集热器，为夜晚美丽的海景增添光亮。

受浮岛/上海双年展官方委托设计，由桑迪•罗馆藏。

材料：喷砂不锈钢

Oystermen is an environmental artwork at a tidal beach in Kinmen Island, Taiwan. The men are standing 6 meters high from the sand surface during low tide and are walking on water 3 meters high on top of waves as the ocean deepens on high tide. Gradually the legs will be covered by oysters.The Chinese hats of the Oystermen are working as solar energy collectors an illuminating the seascape at night.
