What pressed on my mind to draw the sketch was the time when we built the "cjung khoh" (Maram dialect) in Mawbri. (In Mairang Sohna they call it "i sem di" / "sem dieng"). When this was made all of us in the family were present.
This shed which has been made with bamboo, a kind of palm leaf and bamboo string is adjacent to the big house. Now we use it to keep wood, to heat water and now for about a week we have been cooking and eating in the shed, completely forgetting about the kitchen in the main house.
What made me draw this shed was the memory of the warmth and comfort that it gives us. When I return from anywhere, I find that everyone else is inside the shed. It is such a happy and restful feeling when returning from a tiring and long journey on foot. These are the memories that played in my mind which inspired me to draw the sketch.
