Notes

One in a series of 20 life-sized collaborative photographic portraits originally commissioned for the 19th Biennale of Sydney 'You Imagine What You Desire', held 21 Mar 2014 - 9 Jun 2014.
"This portrait comes from a series created collaboratively in open workshops over many months. Participants collaged each image to reflect the subject’s identity, concerns, dreams or life story. Tatai Taumoepeau wanted her portrait to highlight the effects of climate change on small island nations: rising sea levels, severe weather and the threat of exile. In her words: 'Some of our people refuse to leave their sovereignty and the bones of their ancestors'"--From Being Human exhibition caption.
Exhibited in 'Being Human' at Wellcome Collection, London from 5th September 2019.
