“Sisterhood” is a piece about women in society.  Henna tattoos are a symbol of celebration and fertility (being a woman).  With the array of hands holding on and supporting each other, it symbolizes how growing up as a girl, we always have the love and support of women in our lives.  They all affect us and guide us in becoming a woman.  Everyone has a henna tattoo as we are either guiding or being guided.  It also reminds us that although everyone is different, we should all support each other.
