On the wall next to the entrance of The Table & Gallery, located at 1209 Chapel St., is the​“Blue Vein Mural,” which encapsulates everything that the culinary and artistic space is all about. 

The mural is made out of pages taken from two eighteenth- and nineteenth-century books on patriarchy and the oppression of women, covered by flowing blue shapes that recall water droplets flung into the air. An educational message is transformed into a work that evokes cleansing and freedom, as well as the idea of going with the flow.

The mural is the work of Sonal Soveni, a filmmaker, artist, entrepreneur, and founder and owner of The Table & Gallery.
