Untitled (2014) consists of small aluminum plates on which the artists has imprinted images of electrified gas (plasma). The project was initiated at the facilities of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge (MA, USA), where Wang has worked in close contact with a team of scientists to realize her work. Pointing a high-speed camera at a pressurized environment in which the plasma was housed, the artist photographed what is generally invisible to human vision albeit constituting what is known to be the fourth state of matter in the universe. Wang later applied similar process of the early daguerreotypes to fix the images of plasma on the surface of aluminum plates. Floating on polished metal sheets, the images have a primordial form, evocative of the structures of microscopic plankton drifting in water currents or the remains of past lives fossilized in rocks.
《无题》（2014）中，小型铝片上印着等离子气体（Plasma）的印迹。这个项目发起于美国剑桥麻省理工大学的等离子科学和聚变中心（Plasma Science and Fusion Center ），王凝慧和一个科学家团队紧密合作。在一个含有等离子气体的加压环境下，艺术家使用高速摄像机，成功拍摄了肉眼难以察觉的物质，这一物质构成了宇宙中的第四物态。艺术家运用类似早期达盖尔银版照相法的技术，将等离子气体的图像显影于铝片上。形态原始的图像浮在光亮的金属表面，让人联想到在水流中飘游的微观浮游生物的结构，亦或是在岩石中已成化石的故去生命的存留。
