This work begins with the artist's personal experiences living in Bali, considering creative needs and budget. Renting a tin shack factory in Bali is a preferred choice due to its affordability, spaciousness, and proximity to schools. "Walking around Thunder" reflects on the spatial experience of staying in the tin shack. The connection between the interior space of the factory and the sound is akin to a resonating metal box. When there is any external disturbance, such as the sound of cars, rain, or gravel hitting the edges of the shack, the entire tin space starts to sway slightly, emitting sharp and piercing noises. It resembles ripples on the surface of water, spreading waves throughout the interior space until it returns to stillness, awaiting the next sound to pass by. By combining a power device on a microphone stand with aluminum sheets and controlling the settings on the controller, a single strike is generated every minute. The manipulation of the aluminum sheets creates a momentary presence resembling the sound of wind or thunder. The light refracted by the aluminum sheets oscillates, leaves traces, and eventually settles in the entire space, repeating this cycle continuously. It represents a fold in time and the trajectory of movement.
這件作品透過對於自身在八里生活的經驗做為開端，創作需求與經費的考量，在八里出租一處鐵皮屋工廠或是正是一個地大、便宜、離學校近的首選，〈走一圈的雷〉便是從待在鐵皮屋的空間經驗進行思考，廠房內部空間與聲響的聯繫，如同一個鐵製的共鳴箱，外面稍有響動，如車聲、雨聲、碎石彈至屋緣，整個鐵皮空間就會開始微晃且發出尖銳刺耳的噪音，如同水面的漣漪，在整個內部空間擴散出波紋，直到靜止之後，等待下一次聲響經過。我透過麥克風架的動力裝置與鋁片的結合，藉由控制器的設定，每分鐘一到便會產生一次性的擊打，撥弄鋁片瞬間如同風聲或雷聲的來臨，鋁片折射出的光線會在整個空間晃動、餘波、靜止，周而復始，這是一種關乎時間與移動路徑的摺痕。
