Reflection

Doing my own research after meeting with the experts for every traditional art craft gives me more understanding of the historical stories and the culture of each traditional craft. Thus, It opened up my eyes to realize the importance of keeping the traditions because they provide a sense of belonging and meaning to our lives especially, for someone who originated from the country.
