Entangled lives Painting

Behold the industrious quilt makers, Bent over their creation, hard at labour, Woven together, part of the same quilt, Threads in different colours the finest silk, Spun with thoughts of such intensity and might , Some were dark some light, some glossy and bright , Needles in all directions flying with synchrony, A silent dance of coexistence and camaraderie, All dreams laid down in harmonious splendour, Some to be achieved and some surrendered. Families in Indian culture especially the traditional rural ones are usually extended, with household chores shared by a number of women, coexisting in patriarchal societies. The quilt makers are busy at work, gossip and discussions of their entangled lives flying with the needles and thread. Deep silences , lost in individual thoughts, coexisting, co-dependant, their dreams laid out. The vibrant quilt that they have patched out together is reflecting these dreams that they are lost in. Similar but individual, tied up to each other in the world they live in.\\
