The artwork innovatively reinterprets Chinese traditional ink aesthetics within the digital realm, serving as its creative foundation. Upon the celestial loop, an abstract world scroll unfolds gradually in front of the viewer who is standing in a traditional Chinese patio. Elements such as mountains, seas, stars, and the radiant moon appear and shift dynamically. The imagery of the flow of time and the glow of the moon is portrayed within the grand, dreamlike, and mysterious interplay of light and shadow shaped by ink aesthetics.

The entire artwork deconstructs and reconstructs the perceptual experience. Although the viewer is immersed in this surreal scenario, familiar architectural, natural, and biological elements, such as buildings, raindrops, and red-crowned cranes register themselves in people's subconscious minds as elements of reality. The scroll-like world scene unfolds in a space akin to a vast celestial ring, where the surreal concept of time is unleashed, resulting in an immersive encounter with natural phenomena beyond conventional expectations. Sensory interactive technology, coupled with real-time digital rendering, further ensures individual subjectivity, interactivity, and immersion in the space. The virtual digital realm reshapes individuals' embodied sensory experiences.
