"Today, I continued to fumble, scratch and erase on the white canvas,
as if wandering in a fog, unable to see any step ahead. Then, in the distance,
I saw a person. I was trying to create a person from my imagination.
In other words, it was a fictional character. However, there seems to be
no such thing as complete fiction. I tried to represent a point in time
between the past and the future, apoint in the story, rather than a moment.
Of course, this may not be the character you initially expect, but I hope it is.
I wanted the figurative and metaphorical characters in each story to remind
the audience of the real people around them. The real people around them.
I also hope that the fictional characters can be reborn as existential characters
through the emotions and empathy of the audience."
