导演阐述 Director’s Statement
商品社会的众多选择没有让我觉得自由，在很多时候，反而将我紧紧地禁锢其中。也许是宿命论吧，画画的人类带着天然的灵气让我无法拒绝。就算有再多的选择也无法拒绝。所以人生是没有真正意义的选择的。它只存在于你的脑子里。
The expansive choice of consumer society doesn’t give me much freedom. To the contrary, most of the time it makes me feel tightly constrained. It’s probably fatalism. Painters with natural and original spirits are impossible for me to resist, so no matter how many choices are out there, there are in fact no meaningful choices at all. They only exist in your mind.
