"Cuc Lam's little red vinyl suitcase doesn't look like a very valuable National Treasure at all but it really is, because here was this tremendous person coming to Australia and her entire life was just packed into a little, tiny suitcase — all her past and her future were just put in to that little case; that's all she had. And that's the illustration I was trying to make work there — opening up the little suitcase, her future, Australia, is packed inside."
