I think the battlefield is just a canvas where each move is a line and the silence between them is the negative space that gives shape to the whole picture. A commander like Hannibal trimmed his forces to the core, leaving nothing but the essential weight, and the gaps between his attacks let the enemy breathe only the briefest moments. That breathing room, that empty space, is where the true decision is made. In art I do the same: I remove the unnecessary brushstrokes until what remains is the core idea. When strategy and simplicity meet, the result is a quiet clarity that lets both the soldier and the viewer see what really matters.
