乍看之下由经典形状的灯随机排列组成的这件作品，是一件受到观者与他人影响会发出连续性光芒的作品，换言之它是能够展现出连续性之美的作品。
当有人静止站立在灯附近时，最接近人的灯会发出强烈的光芒，并发出声响。然后，灯光会传播到最靠近的两个灯上。被传播的光芒会发出同样的声响，然后再传播到最接近的灯上，连续地延伸开来。被分成两束传播出来的光芒会各自形成一条经过所有灯一次的光之轨迹。由自己发出的光，和由他人产生的光将会交汇。
乍看之下随机配置的灯，无论从哪个灯发出光，光也能够永远连续，留下平滑的轨迹，而且会与由他者而生的光交汇。
更具体地说，每个灯配置在空间中的位置使其最靠近的两个灯之间连出一条线时，都只会出现一条独一无二的连接线。此外还有灯悬挂高度的不均一分布，在三维空间里形成的光轨迹的平滑度也经过了定量，空间上灯的配置是根据数学原理得来的。
因此，与人呼应而产生的灯光，尽管只会传播到最近的灯，但是所有的灯都会被呼应一次并一气呵成以形成一道光的路径，同时还与因他者而产生的光交汇，最后回归到起点。
通过这个过程创造出来的灯的排列乍看起来是随机的，但这是一种由人们从任何位置与灯互动而创造出来的，表现光的连续性之美的排列。
通过这种过程而创造出来的看似杂乱的灯的配置，使得人们自由地站立在各种位置上，都能与灯产生呼应，继而产生出光的连续性之美。

本作品是通过点状光的集合来创造三维物体的火焰的互动雕塑作品。此创作方式类似于点彩绘画，即用各色彩点来绘制图像。
当人们靠近时，火焰将变得更强。
火焰是由于燃烧而产生的一种光和热的现象，并非是一种物质，而是我们看到燃烧这种化学反应时的感官体验。 这种感官上的体验，使得火焰能够被我们认知为是一种物体，且有时能够在其中感受到生命的存在。
大多的火焰，从外焰到焰心的颜色都是逐渐变化的。外焰为红色，内焰为强烈而明亮的白色，焰心则是较暗的颜色。 然而尽管生鸡蛋的颜色构成也与之相似，外壳是白色的，内部是透明的，中心部分是黄色的，作为一个三维物体，从外面却只能看到白色的外壳。火焰这个三维物体之所以看起来能够像二维绘画一样有色彩的层次，而非如鸡蛋一样，是因为火焰是由光所构成的三维物体，内部强烈且明亮的白色即使与外部的红色混合，也依然呈现白色的样子。因此，作为一个三维物体的火焰，无论从哪里观赏，都像一幅具有色彩层次的平面绘画。
本作品通过点状光的集合来创造三维物体的火焰，从而使得火焰的雕塑能够在三维和二维之间来回穿梭。

Like an organic entity created from crystallized light, the work shines iridescently from its center as it moves around, merging and dividing continuously.

People can walk into the artwork, and even if they do so, the artwork will continue to be maintained, its existence unharmed. If a person touches the artwork, they realize that what they are looking at is ordinary water. The artwork’s existence is not independent, but is actually a unique phenomenon created by its environment.
The places where the work appears will change as the viewer moves. The work’s appearance is unique to the viewer, so someone viewing the artwork from another angle will see a different colored work appearing in a different place. In other words, the existence of the artwork being seen is created by its environment, and exists only in the viewer.

Environmental Phenomena

teamLab explores the creation of artworks based on the concept of environmental phenomena, in which the artworks do not exist independently, but are created by the environment that produces the various phenomena.

Objects like stones and man-made creations maintain a stable structure on their own. Unlike these, the existence of the artworks are dependent on their environment.

The environment produces phenomena and stabilizes their structure - these stabilized phenomena are what create the existence of the artworks.

Environmental phenomena are released from the material substances that have been responsible for maintaining structures of existence. Elements like air, water, and light that permeate our daily lives are transformed by their environment into unique phenomena that become works of art. The boundaries of their existence are ambiguous and continuous. Even if people destroy the work, the work will remain in existence as long as its environment is maintained. On the contrary, the work will disappear if the environment is not maintained.
In time, people's consciousness will expand from existence itself to the environment.

A stone can continue to exist in a closed box, sealed off from the outside world, but life cannot sustain its existence in such a box because it is created by its environment.

Life is a miraculous phenomenon that emerges from a flow in a continuous world.
