[Looking Through]

Looking Through is a photographic collage project that I used to help document my process of pausing, and of returning & redefining home for myself. "Home" has personally always been an abstract concept as a displaced and landless indigenous person born and raised on occupied lands. Through my process of slowing down, I found that going home wasn't returning to a specific place, but a process of going inward to myself. This project speaks to the smaller stories and truths that can be found when I look through the bigger picture - often a messy amalgamation of everyone's narratives - and was a way for me to build a relationship with the land and place I grew up understanding as home, unceded territory of Huchiun.
