"I am not painting self-portraits or depicting any specific, real person. They seem like characters from modern myths, stuck halfway through their stories: missions incomplete, no longer believing in an ending. They often lower their heads, avoid, and remain silent, as if trapped in some echo within their emotions and bodies. They don't want to 'become strong'; they just want to hold on or simply exist."— ZHANG Shangfeng
