By way of building the Sailing Castle for attractions to people, FENG depicts the phenomenon that fishermen and boats sailing off and making homeward voyages as people entering the installation. The interaction among people and the Sailing Castle is a representation of the prosperity of the fishery industry, communal unity, expectation, and joy.

港岸聚集了眾多船隻，船帆在海上起伏交疊，那是眾人將要出航的時刻，也是航行者歸來的景致。藝術家范承宗與團隊們以實木構築張起在風中錯落的船帆，詮釋船隻群聚在港的印象，他們建起一艘讓人走進其中的空間，那是眾人團結相聚的象徵，也是農漁城鎮的興盛繁榮。
登上船，揚起帆，迎著風，邁向大海，我們出發，我們回家。
