Portraits Reflections on the Veil is the publication of 14 works by Jane Brettle from Beyond Black and 12 stills from Confluence a 2 screen video piece by Tulu Bayar.

In the catalogue essay, Professor Reina Lewis, Artscom Centenary Professor in Fashion Studies at the London College of Fashion remarks on how the works in the catalogue ‘suggest the multiple meanings that garments associated with Muslim modesty hold for those who wear them and those who view them’.
