In his project But Where Are You Really From? Patel examines the complexities of biracial identity by navigating the intertwined histories of his family in Gujarat, India, and Hartlepool, England. Through a series of photographs, he reflects on how cultural memory, migration, and postcolonial politics shape his personal and familial identity. The images juxtapose India’s agrarian landscapes with England’s industrial past, exploring the tension between these worlds and how they inform his understanding of home. This body of work delves into the politics of identity formation, responding to the question, "But where are you really from?" with a nuanced exploration of heritage, belonging, and the fluidity of bi-racial identity.
