Expressing her feelings about this presentation and her art, Dr. Yasmin Rashid wrote that this creation was made not in any studio but behind bars, where every stitch on the cloth is a symbol of patience and every color is a new ray of hope. When time comes to a complete halt and the soul feels empty, creative work provides solace to a person, and one must have firm conviction that even in the harshest and darkest circumstances, beauty emerges and endures.
