To embody the meaning...Fung is a prolific poet who uses shufa as a medium for literary self-expression. This work records a moment of poetic introspection during a transpacific flight. To embody the meaning of the poem, the artist uses two distinctive scripts. In the first, his meditations on structure and substance appear in needle script, which breaks down characters into thin lines and expands their internal structure to push the boundaries of legibility. In the second, he incorporates elements of musical notation into characters to transcribe the rhythm of time. Fung switches from needle script to musical script as he moves from “Cheating physical structure/” to the next line, “confusing time and space by focusing on distance” 欺騙生理結構 迷惑時空焦點距離.
