在作品中，堅硬翡翠化為柔韌麻繩，雙股交纏，交織密佈的紋理，粗獷而樸實，充滿著力量的表現。五隻翠綠蝴蝶，翩然棲停於繩結之上，代表「蝴蝶王國」的台灣意象，也表徵「幸福」的文化意涵。
由上往下俯瞰作品輪廓與台灣島相似，台灣風土人情之溫厚、居民生活之富饒，人文自然之豐美，斯土斯民，猶如福佑之地，讓人油然產生珍惜的心情。
此件作品則用翡翠繩結書寫永恆的祝願，傳達創作者對人與土地的終極關懷，簡單線條在空間無盡的延展，內蘊動人的深意。

In this artwork, the hard jadeite is delicately carved into a flexible hemp rope, intertwined with two strands, and the texture of the intertwined rope is rough and simple, full of strength. The five emerald green butterflies perched on top of the rope represent the "Kingdom of Butterflies" of Taiwan as well as the cultural connotation of "happiness".
From the top to the bottom, the silhouette of the piece is similar to the island of Taiwan, with the warmth of its customs, the richness of its inhabitants, and the abundance of its humanities and nature, which makes it a blessed land and a place to be cherished.
In this work, the jadeite rope knot is used to express the creator's ultimate care for people and the land, and the simple lines are endlessly extended in the space, which implies a touching deep meaning.
