"Real and Sham" is true in appearance but false in its emotions. Taken at Mandu Plaza in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, China, it captures a scene that appears authentic at first glance. As we gaze at it, trying to piece together a complete story from its half-true, half-false expressions, we find that the real answer may always be hidden on the unrevealed side. Much like a mirror of life, "Real and Sham" is a fragment of time, capturing a fleeting truth while using imaginative strokes to outline a space of wonder. It allows us to wander between truth and illusion, much like solving a mysterious riddle. The truth is the instant freezing of light and shadow, while the falsehood lies in its inability to fully reveal the story behind it. It is a slice of reality, yet it harbors endless speculation, leading us to seek the truth hidden on the other side. It's also like a half-closed door, guiding us toward reality while using the veil of illusion to conceal part of the truth, prompting us to ponder as we explore.
