Like stepping stones laid in moss in a Japanese garden, which slow the spectator's pace and satisfy the need for calm, drawn stories invite us to emotionally relax and be mentally active. We can contemplate what we see, leaving the rigid social hierarchies of the everyday world behind us. In our imagination, we can play out different possibilities that the narrative could take. We are offered an intensive world that lies open for discovery, and which allows us to rethink our own experiences. Such reconsideration can alter our stance and lead to new perspectives.
