Layers of Life: A Metaphorical Cake Stand

(Featuring 'Stop Indians ahead', 'Semi detached London', 'BritIndia' artworks)

Ketna Patel's inventive collection, "Layers of Life," transforms a humble three-tier cake stand into a profound metaphysical metaphor for the intricate hierarchies that govern our mortal stories and our quest to understand our place in the world. Much like the chakras that align along the human spine, these tiers represent the strata of experiences we accumulate, each a different flavour and texture in the grand banquet of existence. 

As we ascend from one level to another, we metaphorically devour the layers of life, peeling back the veils that conceal deeper realisations about the nature of reality. Just as we savour the richness of different tastes, we devour the diverse moments, challenges, and joys life presents, and each layer facilitates a more profound understanding of our journey. It's a playful yet profound insight into how our lives are composed of myriad flavours, each contributing to a deeper realisation of the nature of reality, reminding us that every layer, every bite, and every moment is a piece of the grand cosmic confectionery of life.
