In her work, ZHANG Ruyi offers a coherent cluster of experiences and mixed feelings about crossing and in-betweeness. She conducts a clinical analysis of architecture, sculpture, and site in the city for the preparation of specimen by industrial materials, commencing on the anatomy of public space. For this reason, she abstracts the geometric construction and rhythmic utterance from within, meanwhile seizing the skin features of specific objects to satisfy the need of ornament. Ornament is not primarily something by itself that is later applied to something else but belongs to self-presentation.

张如怡在作品中提供了一连串有关跨越与游移的经验以及复杂感受。她针对城市中的建筑、雕塑与场所展开临床分析，通过工业材料进行标本制作，着手公共空间的形态研究。因此，她提取其中的几何结构与节奏表达，同时抓住特定对象的表皮特征，满足装饰的需要。装饰并非独自存在而被强加于其他事物的东西，而是用于自我展现。
