免驚

收驚，又稱「喊驚」、「收嚇」、「叫魂」，是台灣傳統民間信仰中的重要儀式。當人們心神不寧、受到驚嚇或遭遇意外時，會透過收驚來安撫失落的魂魄，使其回歸身心。在傳統觀念中，收驚建立在對靈界存在的理解之上，認為人的魂魄可能因驚嚇而離開身體，需透過儀式將其召回。此行為不僅是信仰實踐，更是台灣文化中關心與關愛的具體展現，當親友受驚時，帶其收驚亦是一種溫柔的照顧方式。
在台灣民俗文化中，收驚作為面對驚嚇、焦慮與失序狀態的安撫機制，存在於廟宇、家庭與社會之間。然而隨著世代更迭與生活節奏加快，人們逐漸忽略自身情緒，使收驚文化逐漸淡出日常經驗。《免驚》以設計重新詮釋此文化，不取代傳統儀式，也不模仿神職，而是透過轉譯與體驗，讓人感受其中的安撫力量。將傳統轉化為可參與的情緒體驗，使沒有宗教背景的人也能理解其文化脈絡，並在當代生活中重新與自己對話。

Soul Recalling

Siukiann is a traditional ritual in Taiwanese folk belief. It is used when people experience emotional distress, fear, or sudden events that are believed to disturb the stability of the soul. The purpose of the ritual is to bring the soul back and help the person return to a stable physical and mental state.
Based on the belief in a spiritual world, Siukiann suggests that the soul may temporarily leave the body after being frightened. Through the ritual actions, such as chanting and symbolic movements, the soul is guided back. Beyond its religious meaning, Siukiann also reflects a form of emotional care in Taiwanese culture. Taking someone to receive this ritual shows concern, protection, and support.
In Taiwanese society, Siukiann has long been a way to deal with fear, anxiety, and emotional imbalance, and can be found in temples, homes, and communities. Although it is less common in modern life, its core idea remains meaningful as a way to comfort emotions and restore inner balance.
