With an approach that utilizes borrowed and derived characters, Wang Shin-Yi uses nearly absurd visual lexicons to depict dazed reality about mundane things that she has focused on in life. In the work, the protagonists are all wearing large t-shirts and attempting to complete a task. From the preconceived limitation of the body and the choice of the materials used for the props, the failing plots seem to take place naturally. If life could be simplified into a single task, the apprehension and anxiety felt in the process are narrated in these two videos. The large paper airplanes and boats with apparent folded marks are scattered in an inappropriate setting, and they are trying to show that after the phase of observation from ashore and upon the return from a long journey, the person is ready to honestly face the childhood dream, and still finds it to be full of great dynamics. These depictions show the artist experiencing life in different stages, and she is once again ready to go on after combating the exhaustion felt from the struggling fight.
