The work is constructed of numerous transparent plastic boxes whose shadows resemble geometrical skyscrapers when a moving light casted on. The ordinary materials used in this artwork remind viewers of the realistic world; however, it leads people to a further imaginary scene. Chi-Tsung introduces, “there is another invisible world in which we live every day. It is made up of electronic equipment, programs, networks, media and information, and I call it ‘Crystal City’… It is becoming our new spiritual home in the contemporary world”

作品由若干透明的塑膠盒子組成,在移動光源的照射下,其投影仿若城市中的摩天大樓。在這裡,塑膠盒廉價的工業材料提示著現實世界,而投影的世界則將人帶入想像的疆界。季璁介紹稱,「有另一個不可見的世界,但我們每日生活其中,它是由電子設備、程式、網絡、媒體、訊息所構築,我稱之為《水晶城市》⋯⋯那裡是我們精神的寓所。」
