Sisters of Earth: A veiled connection

‘Sisters of Earth – a veiled connection’ is a poignant portrayal that delves into the deep-rooted connections and shared destinies between India and Britain, depicting them as siblings within the broader human family. Amidst contemporary challenges that seek to sow divisions among racial communities, Patel perceives these as distractions engineered to divert attention from the true perpetrators of colonization. While the faces of power may have changed, the influence of corporate entities and banking institutions endures, often undermining human dignity and unity. Patel advocates for collective exploration of history and connecting the dots to dismantle dystopian structures. In the painting, two young women, one Indian and one British, stand amidst a backdrop rich in symbolism, with a temple representing ancient traditions and a vintage Indian seascape evoking nostalgia for Gujarat's coastline. Through this imagery, Patel encourages viewers to embrace multiculturalism not through forced narratives, but by celebrating our inherent human connections and shared histories, fostering compassion, understanding, and solidarity.
