About
Growing up in the 21st century alongside the internet and social media age is a fascinating experience but also an alienating one. I have had the opportunity to be exposed to such a wide variety of cultures and ideas. However, finding your own space in this vast ocean of styles, ideas and aesthetics can be as daunting as it is exciting.
In Search of a Voice directly contributes to my personal journey in finding my place in the world. Specifically my journey in 2022 to reconnect with my Maori heritage. The work embodies many of the different influences I've encountered in my life whilst finding ways to subtly reference Maori musical styles including Taonga Puoro and Karanga.
