Exposition：

In “Kuafu Chasing the Sun” series, Kuo depicts a fluffy giant using his sturdy arms and giant steps to chase the fluorescent moon, forests and riverbeds which are all under his feet. Likewise, Kuo utilizes mythology to display Taiwan as a place that is always around the clock and activities are ongoing day and night. Furthermore, if Taiwanese people can create “miracles” in the economy, increase the domestic income by 14 times in such short period, therefore Taiwan may also declare itself as a “mythology” too. In retrospect the giant is an analogy of Taiwanese citizens and the sun is equivalent to wealth and power. The giant holding the sun displays the wealth and power that Taiwanese citizens have in the their hands.
