01:31Drawing has a big role in communicating with the environment.
01:36It captures the feelings of a person who doesn't depend on what's inside.
01:41When I was a child, my mother's drawings were dark, black, and of a different color.

02:16The art of Lama is reflected in her drawings.
02:28Lama's approach to change began when the war started,
02:32when she saw the suffering of the people around her,
02:36when she saw hunger, poverty, and loss.
02:40It is reflected in her drawings.
02:43something bigger to say and convey to the audience.
03:03She went from a small painting to a large wall.
03:07The importance of wall painting for me
03:09was that she went from a small painting to a large painting.
03:14The biggest emotion that I felt when I went to paint the suffering, the disasters.
03:40The audience and the people interacting with the painting will be greater
03:46and the audience is going to look at the painting and be affected.
03:51It is all about conveying the message, the message of the pain that the people of Syria are living.
03:55It is all about reaching out.
04:09I see myself in water, and the design is that every community is united.
04:39Art allows children to learn to communicate in a deeper level.
04:55When they deal with a person with special needs, as deaf, as smart as I am,
05:00they learn early on that our society is made up of different people.
05:05They may see people who are healthy, or people who are deaf,
05:09or people with Down syndrome, or people who are deaf-blind.
05:13These are the different people that the society that these children live in should be.
05:18So we hope that LAMA will work hard to eliminate discrimination.
05:24With this saying, LAMA asks us to work hard to make the world a better place.
