The video shows the couple exercising in a public gym and helping each other put on and remove socks.

Lovers II (Yieldpoint) began with a seller offering worn socks and custom videos. When asked about purchasing from more than one person, he invited his boyfriend to participate. One was a PE teacher, the other a civil servant. They explained that they shared their socks without distinguishing whose were whose. The blue and green pairs selected for the work came from this shared wardrobe.
While discussing possible outdoor locations for the recording, the seller mentioned regularly going to the gym with his boyfriend. This familiar setting became the chosen location. The request was for natural interaction without showing faces, including helping each other put on and remove the socks. In the footage, they use a stair climber, sit on weight benches, and move together among the equipment.
The sculpture develops from the contact between warm, sweating bodies and hard manufactured surfaces. The long socks twist through a steel framework, their curves held among bars that both support and constrain them. Resin fixes the garments into bodily forms, while the shared socks resist identification with either man alone. They preserve traces of a relationship in which even this ordinary distinction of ownership was unnecessary.
For Hysteresis, the framework is mounted on an adjustable folding weight bench. Its inclined supports and padding recall the positions and effort of exercise, extending the small steel structure into equipment built for a full-sized body. The intertwined garments occupy this apparatus alongside the recording of the couple, bringing their shared routine into the sculpture’s physical setting.

《戀人 II（屈服點）》始於一位販售穿過的襪子與客製影像的賣家。當倪灝詢問能否向不只一人購買時，他邀請男友一同參與。兩人一位是體育老師，一位是公務員。他們說，平常穿襪子並不區分彼此，都是共用。作品選用的藍色與綠色紮染襪，便來自這個共有的衣櫃。
討論拍攝地點時，賣家提到經常與男友一起去健身房，這個熟悉的日常場所遂成為錄影的場景。拍攝的要求是在不露臉的情況下自然互動，包括協助彼此穿上、脫下襪子。影像中，兩人使用登階機、坐在重訓椅上，並在器材之間一同活動。
雕塑從溫熱、流汗的身體與堅硬的人造表面之間的接觸展開。長襪在鋼製框架中扭轉，曲線被支撐也被約束，停留於金屬桿件之間。樹脂將衣物固定成近似身體的形態，而共用的襪子又難以歸屬於其中任何一人。它們留下的，是一段連這種尋常的所有權區分也無須存在的關係。
在《遲滯》中，鋼製框架被安置於可調式折疊重訓椅上。傾斜的支架與軟墊呼應運動時的姿勢與施力，使小型鋼構延伸至為完整身體尺度打造的器材。交纏的衣物與伴侶的錄影共同佔據這套裝置，將兩人共有的日常帶入雕塑的實體環境。
