The work on the left uses thermochromic pigments that change color in response to temperature variations. These pigments undergo chemical structural changes when heat is applied, causing the color to disappear. During the cooling process, the internal material returns to its original structure, allowing the color to reappear. The visible transformation of the surface is driven directly by these physical and chemical reactions.

To regulate this process, a heating pad and temperature controller are installed behind the panel. The heating pad, reinforced with insulation, can reach temperatures of up to 60 degrees Celsius. The temperature control is programmed to operate in a cycle of one minute on and three minutes off. Through this repeated heating and cooling sequence, the surface image alternates between visibility and disappearance, producing different visual states over time.

The video work on the right presents spherical forms that bounce and accumulate within the frame. Generated through predefined motion rules, the video demonstrates how repetition and accumulation are constructed visually within a digital environment. In the exhibition space, the thermochromic panels and the video are presented together, allowing viewers to observe changes in material surface and on-screen motion unfolding side by side over time.
