该雕塑将湿地公园所处的地质环境置于深层时间的维度，冥想地球演化与人类活动过程中生物与地质元素的缠绕嬗变。雕塑的形态令人联想到真菌、藻类、气根、浮游生物的腕足、骨骼、或微塑料分子，暗示着物种之间、有机与无机物质之间相互转化、混合共生的状态。它的灵感来自于艺术家过去对于云南发现的可降解塑料的真菌的研究，以及出土于云南澄江的寒武纪海洋软体生物共生形态的化石群。

This sculpture places the geological environment of the wetland park within the dimension of deep time to meditate on the entanglements and dynamics between biological and geological elements that arise through the processes of global evolution and human activity. The sculptural forms evoke tentacles, bones, structures of fungi, algae, aerial roots and plankton, or microplastic particles, alluding to the state of constant transition, fusion, and symbiosis from species to species, and between organic and inorganic. The artwork is inspired by research on fungi with the ability to digest plastic recently discovered in Yunnan, and the discovery of symbiotic fossils from the Cambrian age in Chengjiang.
