HomeBound is a love letter to the quiet constancy of home-familiar, yet touched by time. Returning after a long absence, I see it anew, as if the years have softened the edges while deepening its meaning.
The lemons ripening in my backyard, the rustling of trees in the afternoon breeze, the gentle rhythm of daily life-these simple moments, once overlooked, now feel luminous. They are both unchanged and transformed, bearing the quiet dignity of things that persist.
My work captures this delicate paradox: the way home remains, yet shifts in our absence. It is a meditation on memory, on the beauty of the ordinary, and on the ever-changing lens through which we see the places that shape us.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
