ABOUT THE EVENT

Art Connects Women 2024, organised by ZeeArts Gallery, brought together women artists from around the world in Dubai for its seventh edition under the theme Inspire Inclusion. Julia Borg participated as a 2024 Art Ambassador representing Russia and presented The Quilt of Life at One&Only Royal Mirage.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Quilt of Life uses quilt-making as a metaphor for diversity. Colours, patterns and symbols inspired by different cultures and landscapes are woven together, allowing individual stories to become part of one harmonious whole.
The lotus, Duafe, the moon, Pachamama, the Triple Goddess, the Waratah and an imagined feminine figure representing Antarctica speak of purity, strength, motherhood, resilience, the cycles of life and our connection to nature.
The painting celebrates the diversity of women’s experiences and the shared thread that connects women across continents.
