Our drawings, our designs are inside us, they are part of us in the same way we are part of this country. We are putting down our country and our stories. We are following the steps of our grandparents, they left the marks for us to follow. What we are doing now is what they taught us. So we need to do the same thing for the generations coming behind us. This is our responsibility.
