"The Snake's Tail and Body" comes from an Aesop fable: "The snake's tail quarreled with its body, asking it to lead the way instead of always following behind its head. But because the tail has no eyes and nose, it eventually led its body to run rampant and fell into a stone cave."
The work "The Snake's Tail and Body" describes a story with disputes, and its visual expression deliberately avoids direct conflicts. The main body of the device chooses an accumulator, that is, a spiral spring, to balance its force and present the most stretched posture. Glass bubbles and high-voltage resistors in different directions also try to depict a power struggle with a seemingly peaceful demeanor.
