This painting depicts three neutral faces that look alike, but each portrait has a different vision, distinct details and a diverse view of the world. We're all alike, but by no means identical. Each of us has a unique personality and a character built up through an exceptional history and a particular life path. In other words, "all alike but not identical" means that people have certain similar characteristics or properties, but are not exactly the same. They may differ in certain respects, or have subtle differences that set them apart from one another. For example, two twins may look identical, but they may have different physical characteristics, personalities, interests and so on.
