‘Reclaiming Indigo’ by
For this Juneteenth, photographer offers a powerful visual reflection on the roots of American denim and its connection to Black history. At the heart of the work is indigo, a dyeing practice introduced to the U.S. by enslaved Africans, whose expertise was exploited to build wealth for others.
This series reclaims that narrative. Through intentional styling and rich, analog textures, honors the ancestral knowledge that shaped one of fashion’s most iconic fabrics. Reclaiming Indigo speaks to the resilience of Black communities. Turning what was once a symbol of labor and oppression into a statement of beauty, strength, and cultural pride.
