Even Huang Shijie admits that sometimes when he looks at his own works, he intuitively only thinks that they are garbage bags controlled and moved by fans, but sometimes, he feels that they are cells, hearts, Lungs or sea creatures. He does not want to directly tell the audience what it is, or how to appreciate his work, so as not to restrict the audiences imagination.

This is Huang Shijies most ambitious work so far. It uses more than a hundred parts in total. By disassembling, reassembling, and transforming various electronic parts he used, he created an amazing kinetic art installation, combined with a light-emitting device. , rich visual effects. Huang Shijie hopes that through his "low-tech" works, he can inspire the curiosity of the audience.
