Kia Ora, Balloon Says

“Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.”
Neil Armstrong

A sense of not knowing provokes curiosity and anticipation. It is the sensation that triggers us to know the unknown.

I often find myself dealing with dualistic concepts; space and place, virtual and real, and known and unknown. The duality that coexists and conflicts within our reality is constantly shifting from one point to another. Kia Ora, Balloon Says is an inquisitive series to such transitional space. They are the reminiscences of what has happened, and what could have happened, ended, but still expanding.

Her works juxtapose with high and low tech media, and its informational and technological shift. She also looks at the movement of human migration in New Zealand from her immigrant perspective, documenting her intimate conversations with interviewees.
