还记得那个历史掌故吗？军官指着揭露暴行的画作质问道：「这是你画的吗？」
画家笑着回答：「不，这是你们画的。」
一切试图表现现实的艺术，都不能临摹现实。因为现实粗浅的表象无法涵盖其非物质的深刻意涵。
就像一位死去的战士，如果你只去临摹遗容，那便只是世间无数死者中平凡的另一个。但你若在现实之上探索，找到那些肉眼不可见的崇高、勇气、愤怒、不甘，那才算是真正贴近了属于这位战士的现实。
唯有那样，人们才会知道，这位战士并不只是世间无数死者中平凡的另一个，此人曾使有山、有水、有房屋的地方，也能有人烟。

「有了故事，我们得以与邪恶对抗。」

Remember the old story? An officer pointed at a painting that exposed his atrocities and asked, "Did you paint this?"
The artist smiled and replied, "No, you did."
Art that tries to represent reality cannot simply copy it. The shallow surface of reality can never capture its profound, intangible essence.
Consider a fallen soldier. If you only paint their likeness, they are just one more face among the nameless dead. But if you look past the surface to find the invisible honor, courage, rage, and regret, that is when you truly reach their reality.
Only then will people know that this soldier was not just another statistic. This was someone who once brought the pulse of life to the mountains, the waters, and the homes they left behind.

"With stories, we are able to fight back against evil."
