蛇（tsuá｜ㄗㄨㄚˇ）是誘惑、是重生；既美麗又危險。

蛇依附昂首於大地，蜿蜒、盤繞，並藉由蛻皮而新生。其天生帶有智慧和神秘的特質，也因帶有危險與破壞性，人們又敬又怕地將其奉為神明，守護者及使者。
蛇，可說是神、魔、靈、怪多位一體，亦邪亦正，因而造就許多神話與傳說，不論從其表徵、習性、姿態；亦或是象徵性的傳奇故事、宗教信仰隱喻，可見許多東西方創作者受其激發展開無限想像與靈感的作品。

駁二當代館展覽「TSUA｜當代珍奇穴」以蛇為符號象徵，並以穴為型展開空間與策展主題的對話，集結10位跨藝術及設計創作者參展，交織體現蛇作為生靈、社會、文化及心理多層次關係的信使之姿。

The snake (tsuá) represents both temptation and rebirth; it is simultaneously beautiful and dangerous.

The snake, raising its head high above the earth, twists and coils, and is reborn through shedding its skin. It is inherently imbued with wisdom and mystery, yet it is also feared for its danger and destructive power. Revered and feared in equal measure, it has long been regarded as a deity, protector, and messenger. The snake can be seen as a multifaceted figure—both divine and demonic, spiritual and monstrous, it embodies both good and evil—giving rise to many myths and creativity.

From its symbolic representation and behavior to the legendary stories and religious metaphors surrounding it, the snake has inspired countless creators across Eastern and Western cultures, sparking boundless imagination and creativity.

The exhibition "CONTEMPORARY CAVE OF CURIOSITY: SNAKE" at the Pier-2 Art Center uses the snake as a symbolic motif and the concept of "holes" to engage in a dialogue with the curatorial theme. Ten creators from diverse artistic and design backgrounds participate, weaving the snake’s ecological, social, cultural, and psychological layers
