An ode to what is kept, and what is passed on, Blue Vein traces the decaying of memory through material objects, and the tenderness embedded in each thread worn across generations. A deeply personal and intimate collection, each portrait focuses on an item of clothing that has been inherited or preserved. 

Each ripped seam, stain or moth-bite becomes a vessel for the memory of a life well-lived. Blue Vein draws focus on the fabrics that adorn us, and what these threads have endured; love, loss, and longing. It is about the way we carry people with us, how we remember them not only in our minds but through the textures that once touched their skin. This book honours the quiet beauty of keeping, and the sacred act of remembering.
