日常中的大部分人普遍習慣通過媒體與新聞報導作為獲取生活資訊的方式與管道，從中了解每日現時社會中的大小人事物。新聞報導則作為某種意義上社會現象、重大或特殊關注事件的集合。兩者介於日常中的普遍與特殊之間的灰色地帶，並且這種日常生活經驗需要透過人們的聽覺與視覺來獲取資訊。而蝸牛作為一種沒有聽覺的生物，其身體感知經驗大多來自觸覺和視覺對於光暗的判斷。作品試圖透過蝸牛“看”新聞後“寫”下的感想，加以石粉凸顯其路徑，成為某種可閱讀的視覺圖像。讓觀者以異於日常獲取資訊的關心模式與路徑讀取圖像。

Most people in their daily lives habitually use media and news reports as a means and channel to acquire information about life, gaining insights into the various events and occurrences in society. News reports serve as a collection of, in some sense, societal phenomena, significant events, or special points of interest. These two, media and news reports, exist in the gray area between the commonplace and the extraordinary in everyday life, and this everyday experiential knowledge is obtained through people's auditory and visual senses.

Snails, being creatures without auditory capabilities, primarily rely on their tactile and visual senses to discern light and darkness. This artwork attempts to highlight their path through the impressions "written" by snails after "seeing" the news, transforming it into a readable visual image. It invites viewers to interpret the image through a mode of engagement that is distinct from their usual way of acquiring information in their daily lives.
