"Discovering Hzing: Pswagi Temahahoi" (2022) is part of Ciwas Tahos’ ongoing project "Finding Pathways to Temahahoi", developed from 2020 to the present. Centered on "Temahahoi"—an Atayal oral story of a "women’s village"—the project mobilizes experimental making and embodied sensing to reclaim marginalized queer community and belonging, and to trace the artist’s return to ancestral ties.
"Temahahoi" describes women living deep in Taiwan’s mountains, communicating with bees, and conceiving through wind. Ciwas Tahos activates this oral narrative to imagine life beyond heteronormative confines and to evoke kinship among dispersed "Temahahoi" descendants. The work also parallels ecological and queer marginalization, linking climate-driven bee loss to the historical erasure of minoritized bodies and spaces.
《Discovering Hzing: Pswagi Temahahoi》（2022）為林安琪自 2020 年延續至今的計畫《找尋迭馬哈霍伊的路徑》之一部分。計畫以「迭馬哈霍伊」（Temahahoi）——泰雅族口述故事中的「女人社」——為核心，透過實驗性的創作與身體感知，重建被邊緣化的酷兒社群與歸屬感，並追索藝術家與祖先連結的回返路徑。
迭馬哈霍伊描繪一群居於台灣深山的女人：能與蜜蜂溝通，並由風孕育後代。林安琪以此口述故事為起點，想像超越異性戀規訓的生活形式，同時喚起散居各地的迭馬哈霍伊後裔之間的親緣感。作品亦並置生態與酷兒的邊緣處境，將氣候危機下蜜蜂的減少，連結到少數身體與空間在歷史中的被抹除。
