“180 Degrees Noise Ⅱ” is presented with two large interlacing translucent screens hanging for projection. By means of the two images, which are an open eye and a closed eye, the artist tries to find her inner voice and also her feelings toward the outer environment. Thus, the “water” of lake and the floating “images” outside the train carriage are echoes with each other and symbolize a dialog via the two interlacing screens. It also implies the urge for searching the artist's unconscious self.
