Krovanes Niko O le a fuga mai (come into bloom)

I have had a somewhat complicated relationship with culture throughout my life. However, in the course of maturing, I delved into many of its aspects to resolve who I am, truly allowing myself to bloom. O le a fuga mai expresses a message to others who struggle with disconnection from their roots: there is not always a singular or linear path but one with a multitude of roots from different parts of your life. Using photomedia for my body of work let me represent a raw, intimate connection, inviting the audience to resonate with the experiences and emotions of my growth.
