Ongoing — Auckland, Aotearoa
From Within is an ongoing series of photographs made across Auckland, Aotearoa. Looking closely at life growing up in Auckland — particularly in South Auckland, home to large Pasifika and Māori communities. Through houses, roads, lit windows, fences, and domestic interiors, the work looks at the distance between homes that exist within the same city, and the lives held behind them. Both as a place of belonging and a place of distance.

This work centres on a private archive of ancestral photographs dating to the 1800s — exploring the tension between oral tradition and fragmented photographic evidence, through themes of loss, survival, and return, through the lens of my whakapapa and colonial-era documentation.
