"In August, fishermen kneel before the shrine and set out to sea in the dark, foggy hours before dawn. Every departure is an ordinary act of making a living, yet it may also be a movement toward death." Through conversations with elderly fishermen, I encountered for the first time the near-zero distance between life and death.

In the face of the difficulty of survival, art becomes powerless. The definition of divinity is no longer identical with the divine itself; the role of god falls from that of a radiant creator to that of an emotional vessel.

The predicament faced by the deity is, in essence, the predicament faced by human beings.

“八月，渔民将会在神龛前跪拜，在黑暗而多雾的凌晨出海，每一次出海都是普通的讨取生活，但又同样可能是走向死亡。”在与老渔民的谈话中，我生平第一次认识到了生活与死亡的零距离。

在生活的艰难面前，艺术是无力的，神的定义也不再是神本身，神的角色从充满光晕的创世者跌落到寄托情感的工具。

神所遇到的困局——本质上就是是人所遇到的困局。
