SAMOA

A body of work exploring the Samoan tradition of tatau—its artistry, its culture, and its enduring legacy. Created as part of Tatau: Marks of Polynesia, organized by the Japanese American National Museum (JANM), curated by Takahiro “Ryudaibori” Kitamura, and toured internationally by Flying Fish.

Above Alaska is born of fascination with this vast wilderness: an attempt to witness glacial recession, shifting habitats, and changing terrain, and to translate them into images that engage both eye and spirit.

QUEER
