The Infinity Knot is a pattern formed by crossing two swastika (卍) symbols, originally an ornament on the chest of the Hindu deity Vishnu. Over time, it evolved to symbolize eternal life, consistency, and love. In Buddhism, it represents the Buddha's endless wisdom and compassion.

The artwork incorporates an antique round table as a ready-made object, linking the table's circular motion with the endless concept of Buddhist teachings. On this rotating table sits a stationary Infinity Knot, whose continuous lines resemble a Möbius strip, symbolizing infinity. The movement of the table and the stillness of the Knot create an unusual dynamic, thereby deconstructing the physical laws. Although the ready-made object from everyday life may seem familiar, upon closer inspection, the audience can discover surreal phenomena that break from reality.

吉祥結是由兩個卍字交叉成一個頭尾相連的結飾圖案，最初為印度教神祇毗濕奴胸前的髮飾，後來逐漸演變成吉祥、長壽、持續和愛的象徵。在佛教中，它則代表著佛陀無盡的智慧與慈悲。

作品使用了一張古董圓桌的現成物，圓桌的循環和佛法無有止盡概念緊密相連。在這張旋轉的桌子上，放置著靜止不動的吉祥結，吉祥結的線條連續，形似莫比烏斯之環，象徵著無限。圓桌的動和吉祥結的靜之間創造一種不尋常的動態，從而解構我們熟悉的物理規律。來自生活的現成物雖然看似熟悉，但在深入觀察時，觀眾可以發現打破現實的超現實現象。
