Exhibition, Year One.

Student Led Exhibition - 2023


Presented as part of a student led exhibition, “To the People That Surround and Create My Home” is an illustration series reflecting on my evolving relationship with the concept of home. Created during my first year studying graphic design, the collection draws from personal experiences of living across multiple cities and balancing the pull of my roots in Ōtautahi, where I lived for 17 years, with the process of building a new sense of belonging and community in Tāmaki Makaurau.

The series features family portraits, cherished objects, and glimpses into the personalities of my close friends. Each piece captures a fragment of the people and places that shape my sense of identity and connection as I navigate early adulthood.
