This piece is based on the linear graphics of gongbi paintings. The changes of lines and alteration of space, which used to be difficult to depict in two-dimensional drawings, are expressed through animation and anamorphic illusion technology. The story begins with a search for reasons for being late. The graphics keep changing until an answer is identified. Lines are used to construct a reading space for the heroine. The visuals then turn into a graphic wall before transforming into different scenarios, and finally, three lines that represent a simple three-dimensional space. Through the changes in perspectives and intertwining shifts in distance and proportions, we seem to be able to see things from different perspectives and processes, examining the nature of fantasy.
