The figure depicts a removed coin pusher from a gaming centre in the Beijing suburb area. The decoration surface is eroded completely and exhibits the metal material of itself.  In some way, it comes with a new machine with the luminous inner skin. Gold coins fall automatically, and each piece is engraved with “Sweet Dream”. It is about the consumption and exchange in the city. It produces fortunes and failures at the same time.
