Inspired by the theme of the 11th Presidential Culture Awards, "Shining the Light of Freedom in the World," the trophy design utilizes the glass transmittance to depict an image of a beam of light moving forward with a will.
The molten glass resembles viscous honey at high temperatures. By pressing it at a precise moment before cooling down, the extruded glass flows naturally and forms the ‘negative space of light,’ as if a radiant light is hidden in.

以 「閃耀世界自由之光」 為主題,第11屆總統文化獎的獎座設計由玻璃的穿透性為主軸,試圖捕捉一道光穿梭前行的自由姿態、一種具有方向感與意志性的具象刻畫。
高溫玻璃膏的流體性質像極麥芽糖,因此最初由手塑黏土展開型態上的嘗試,並決定使用手工壓製的方法,在熔融的玻璃中心以虛像創造出 「光的空間」。由於厚度的變化,壓製位置呈現出不同的透光度;部分表面再以噴砂工藝處理,半透明的質地柔合了線條,彷彿將放射的光芒凝聚其中。
此次獎座的製作,仰賴春池玻璃師傅的長年經驗,由窯爐取出精準的玻璃份量、在適當的溫度下壓模具,並趁著熔融的狀態讓擠出的玻璃膏自然流動。每一座獎座都擁有各自獨特而有機的樣貌。
