We Are All One is a participatory community artwork that invites collective reflection on the invisible yet fundamental units of human existence: body cells. Through guided stitch sessions, participants engaged with illustrated zines conceived and designed by the artist, learning about different types of cells before translating this knowledge into stitched cellular motifs on a shared cloth.

As hands worked together, the textile gradually evolved into a metaphorical “body”—shaped by many gestures, stories, and moments of attention. Realised through stitch sessions with over 100 participants in Goa, where the artist is based, and in Germany during her residency at Weltkunstzimmer, the work grew into a cross-cultural collective artwork. The fabric weaves together experiences from India and Germany, embodying connection, interdependence, and shared human origins.
