Unity in Diversity

Acrylic, 2020, Sumaty Priscila Hernandez-Farina

The painting portrays a profound and unbreakable connection between two women from disparate corners of the globe, emphasising their bond as sisters despite their cultural differences.

The image weaves together the flags of Morocco and Venezuela into the women's flowing hair, symbolising their roots and heritage.

The bodies of the figures are depicted using an array of shapes, each shape representing the unique cultural elements and experiences that have shaped them.

The vibrant and diverse shapes reflect their individual identities while also unifying them in their shared humanity.

This symbolic portrayal celebrates the richness of multiculturalism and the beauty of connections that transcend geographical boundaries.
