My work begins with attention.
To people, to the natural world, and to the small gestures.
Selected projects
LUCENT
A meditation on memory as an act of reconstruction rather than preservation, Lucent imagines archival portraits of those lost to the Second World War as the sole surviving proof of a life.
GOD-HOUSE
collaboration with Jahra Wasasala.
Of gods. Of bure-kalou.
A body shedding.
A body becoming.
This is the call to come home.
TINAKU
Sprouting kūmara, reaching toward the light: a meditation on the revitalisation of Te Ao Māori and Te Reo Māori in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
THE ZOO
A zoo isn't a window into the wild:
It's a stage set, designed to make humans comfortable while looking at animals. This series photographs the scenery instead of the inhabitants.
TAUIWI
The series draws on autoethnography, using my own experience of immigration and belonging.
Recent writing/blog
A place where I share small thoughts, works‑in‑progress, and things I’m noticing along the way.
What happens to the work when I stop insisting it go somewhere?
