Every time the artist wants to quit smoking, she turns the wrench in the installation to the left, and it
will print out a sentence “I decide to quit smoking for the xx time.” And every time she starts smoking
again, she turns the wrench to the right and it will print out a sentence "I smoke again for the xx time."
In line with the different ways in which the artist quits smoking and resumes smoking in the moving image, the length of sentences printed by this installation fully demonstrates the vacillation of will- repeatedly swinging between two decisions, and often acting against her best judgement.
The decisions she ever made on both sides constitute a seven-meter vacillation of will in which the artist shows the dilemma of will in a humorous way and thus mocking on the failure of will.
