還記得那個歷史掌故嗎？軍官指着揭露暴行的畫作質問道：「這是你畫的嗎？」
畫家笑着回答：「不，這是你們畫的。」
一切試圖表現現實的藝術，都不能臨摹現實。因為現實粗淺的表象無法涵蓋其非物質的深刻意涵。
就像一位死去的戰士，如果你只去臨摹遺容，那便只是世間無數死者中平凡的另一個。但你若在現實之上探索，找到那些肉眼不可見的崇高、勇氣、憤怒、不甘，那才算是真正貼近了屬於這位戰士的現實。
唯有那樣，人們才會知道，這位戰士並不只是世間無數死者中平凡的另一個，此人曾使有山、有水、有房屋的地方，也能有人煙。

「有了故事，我們得以與邪惡對抗。」

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."
