Susan Hefuna: A drawing cannot conceal anything. Its impossible to lie in a drawing. A drawing shows everything. A drawing has no gender. A drawing has no nationality. A drawing does not need a passport. There is no time and space. It's a universe of its own. Look at an artist's drawings and you will know everything about the artist.
