Absent Presence is a collection dedicated to my sister who passed away 10 years ago. This is an ongoing journey of grief, whilst preserving sisterly bonds. A cathartic process of exploration into shared memories, emotions ,and a handful of my sister’s clothes, informed ways to hug a body that is no longer here through sartorial means.
