‘Enua Mānea
(2021)
Tiaki mai i ahau, maku ano koe e tiaki… If you look after me, then I will look after you.
'Enua Mānea is an immersive interactive installation, reflecting upon the current state of climate change within the Pacific Islands. This work utilises various mediums to create an atmospheric mis-en-scene of the cautiousness towards climate change. Utilising the space, through covering the floor with fresh leaves and flowers, handmade woven mats and sarongs, to display the rich culture that can be easily lost due to climate change and human interaction. 'Enua Mānea evidently reflects the audience’s cautiousness and connectivity with the land, creating an individual experience for each person.
