Illuminated advertisements and screens have become commonplace, and contribute to how we understand our environment.

The three symbols to the right side of the painting pertain to the sounds of the city. Cui Jie has been greatly influenced by Japanese mangas, looking to them for ways to visually express sound and other invisible forces. In manga illustration onomatopoeia and screentone techniques were used to express sounds, speeds, and emotions. The grid overlay also references the dynamic visual effects found in Op Art.
