Antonio Borges, Jr., Brazil
"As an artisan of life, the raw material I received to work with was an illness: Hansen's Disease.
"I had to live with it. I accepted the challenge of the art and turned it into a university of knowledge and love. I have it to thank for the person I am today: an apprentice who thrived in adversity."
Lin Zhi Ming, author, China.
