  This limited edition book, designed and laid out by Sara Westermann centres around articulating the narrative of Vessel’s EP "Passion" utilising film stills from Maia’s companion film for ‘Movement III’ (if the telephone rings I’ll be saved).
  
  Watch: tinyurl.com/passionpaplu
  
  These images sit alongside the movement’s lyrics, drawn from "The Passion According to GH” by Clarice Lispecto and re-assembled by Huw Thomas and Declan Pleydell to form the lyrical content.
  
  The piece explores the mental health of the artist, not in such a way as to dwell on the negative but more specifically describing “an unwell mind that, whether or not it’s a good idea, is prodding around in a wound in the hope of feeling something transcendental, or more realistically, just feeling less bad”.
  
  The images themselves, taken from the manipulated 16mm from Maia’s film, tell of a visual journey between light and shadow, exploring the space between joy and pain, stability and instability and the idea of constant transformation.
  
  The ambition behind this book is to create a more environmentally sound artefact to celebrate Paplu’s release of Vessel’s “Passion" than a standard vinyl release. Paplu will look towards ways to lessen their impact on the environment by looking to vinyl alternatives where there may be other options.
