The heated stainless steel wall relief incorporates thermal energy which radiates outward beyond the visible limits of the sculpture. Although immaterial, heat is a substance that constitutes the work. Motion, oftentimes imperceptible, is built into the work — wherein this protean quality of the sculpture embody a physical phenomenon as kinetic form.
Heat is also an invasive matter, extending beyond the formal boundaries of the sculpture, touching (perhaps even burning) the viewer. The reflective dimensions of the stainless steel further heighten the self-awareness of the viewer, seeing herself as the touching touched.
置于墙面的发热不锈钢散发的热能超出了肉眼可见的雕塑的边界。热能虽无实体，却是该雕塑物质组成的一部分。在这里，动态时常是不易感知的，但作品本身所具备的变幻的特性使之呈现出形变的物理现象。
同时，热量是一种具有侵略性的物质，向外发散，超越雕塑的物理边界，触及（或许甚至灼烧）观者的皮肤。不锈钢的镜面反射进一步增强了观者的自我意识，触摸者将眼见自己被触及的一刻。
