MAKE MUSIC NOT WAR | Artwork Reflection
“Make Music Not War” is a reminder of what humanity sounds like when it remembers its heart. This artwork honours rhythm, voice and vibration as ancient medicines — stronger than noise, stronger than fear, and stronger than the forces that profit from our divisions.
In our time, power often wears polished suits instead of armour. Modern empires are not only nations; they are corporations that design, manufacture and trade weapons. War has always been profitable. When oil, drugs, resources and influence become commodities, human life too easily becomes expendable. When stories are manipulated to justify violence, something sacred is lost.
This artwork does not look away from that reality. But it also refuses despair. It whispers that even when systems feel enormous and faceless, we are not invisible, and we are not helpless. We are the many. They are the few. And the human spirit has always carried courage quietly in its chest.
Music reminds us of that. It transcends borders, faiths, and ideologies. It gathers strangers into community. It holds joy and grief at the same table. Where conflict fractures, music repairs. Where power silences, music speaks. Where fear shrinks us, music expands us.
“Make Music Not War” invites us to listen differently, to question gently, to feel deeply, and to stand for life in whatever ways we can. It believes that beauty is not escapism — it is resistance, remembrance, prayer, protest, and hope, all in one breath.
Each edition is a finely crafted piece of art, individually titled, numbered, and signed by Ketna Patel. Depending on the work’s nature, it is produced either as a C-Type print on Fuji gloss paper or as a Giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, both ensuring archival durability and suitability for diverse climates, including humid environments like Singapore. Prints are created at esteemed studios in London, Singapore, or New Delhi, using premium archival materials. Limited to 50 copies per size (150 total unframed), each is shipped carefully rolled in a poster tube. For a slick, glossy, contemporary look, the artwork is also offered as Acrylic or HD Metal prints, each limited to 25 per size. Acrylic prints are made on 5mm thick, 70% recycled glossy acrylic with a premium foil backing that amplifies colour richness and depth, framed in white, black, or natural wood. HD Metal versions utilize dye sublimation on scratch-resistant, waterproof aluminium, producing vivid, sharp images suited for indoor or outdoor display with a frameless floating effect. Both formats come with prefitted hanging systems and spacers for easy installation. Each piece is made to order with a 10-day production timeframe, ensuring exclusivity and meticulous record-keeping to prevent duplication.
