以投影機作為觀眾與作品的連結，透過影軌、音軌、字軌三者的交互作用，以日常的物件喚起觀者日常記憶，讓記憶流動於觀眾與作品之間。影軌會以清晰的影像疊成失焦的影像；音軌以物件的聲響（如硬幣掉落聲）與旁白的低喃組成；字軌則為清晰的字幕。因影軌的失焦感與音軌的誘導，促使觀眾調整投影機的焦距，造成內心的匱乏感，並在調整焦距的過程中得到內心的愉悅。

影軌將透過日常物件的拍攝，讓物件的排列與擺放產生不同的意義，並透過物件本身的物質性在失焦的畫面中再現其他層面的失焦。而觀者「觀看」的行為，則讓觀者得以從外部進入作品內部。音軌則讓物件日常聲響進入觀者的內部，誘使投射生命經驗於作品之中，並透過旁白的低喃加強了作者以聽覺介入作品與觀者之間的記憶流動。字軌以清晰的姿態現身，視覺上與背後的影軌產生了衝突感，在調整焦距的過程中，字軌與影軌並不能同時清晰。

此作品試圖重構記憶對於人的感官，並加強了視覺與聽覺之間的連結，讓作品的內外部得以流動，邀請觀眾完整此件作品。以視覺邀請觀眾從外部加入，讓聽覺使作品得以進入觀者內部，並在此交互關係之下，讓觀者能有私人的記憶體驗。

Using a projector as a link between the audience and the artwork, this piece combines visual, audio, and textual elements to evoke the viewer's everyday memories, creating a flow of memory between the audience and the work. The visual track layers clear images to form out-of-focus ones; the audio track consists of object sounds (like the sound of a coin dropping) and murmured narration; the textual track displays clear subtitles. The out-of-focus visuals and suggestive audio prompt viewers to adjust the projector's focus, eliciting a sense of lack and, through the adjustment process, inner pleasure.

The visual track captures everyday objects, where their arrangement and placement take on different meanings, and the objects' materiality reproduces various levels of blur within the out-of-focus images. The act of "viewing" allows the audience to enter the internal space of the work from the outside. The audio track introduces everyday sounds of objects to the viewer's interior, encouraging the projection of life experiences onto the work, and the murmured narration enhances the auditory link between the artist and the memory flow shared with the audience. The textual track appears clearly, creating a visual conflict with the out-of-focus background. During the process of adjusting the focus, the textual and visual tracks cannot be clear simultaneously.

This work attempts to reconstruct the sensory experience of memory, strengthening the connection between sight and sound. It allows the internal and external aspects of the piece to flow, inviting the audience to complete the work. Visual elements invite viewers from the outside, while auditory elements bring the work into the viewers' interior, creating a personal memory experience through this interactive relationship.
