There is a relationship created between an object and another, and everything in this relationship forms a new environment in life. There is an energy flowing through the medium within this internal environment, and it is switching and flowing constantly.

This thesis begins with some case studies sampled from the daily life. The case studies explain how the energy is transformed into different forms and phases, and the phenomenon of its delivery. Continuing with the perspective of biology, the arguments address the relationship between a being to another: symbiosis, parasitism and bionic. Through a technical art creating process, the following things are visited: the relationship of an object and another object linked together through construction, the unique environment that the energy formed by flowing through the medium, and an internal switch mechanism created by and transformed from the flow of Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) and some other objects constructed together. The creating process becomes metaphor for the life experiences and philosophical issues met by the artist. The piece “Weight of the Soul” is the final product that presents a moving form constructed by laminating tubes and mechanical movements mimicking sea creatures. In the piece, the electricity is delivered throughout, and it is linking and interacting with the memories and the consciousness of the spectators. A forum of communication therefore is formed in this relationship.
