“Gangjeong is like under a heavy rain. The real reason of this heavy rain in the world has been festering and smelly but not many people realized. It makes me sad. But I think what I can do in this heavy rain is holding an umbrella as who I am . When I see different kind of people holding their own umbrella in different kind of ways, I want to silently respond their small kindness by holding my own umbrella too. My drawing is something like this, is a small umbrella I hold for Gangjeong.” by Emily
