  • Tiaki is a Māori word meaning to care for, protect and look after. It reflects the idea that our relationship with the natural world comes with a responsibility to care for it.

    The series explores the geothermal landscapes of New Zealand’s North Island, where boiling mud pools, geysers and hot springs reveal the immense heat beneath the surface. For Māori, many of these geothermal areas are taonga, or treasures, and their heat and resources have been part of everyday life for generations.

    I was drawn to the extraordinary colour, texture and energy of these landscapes, and to the forces constantly reshaping them from below. Tiaki is both an exploration of this geothermal world and a reminder of our responsibility to protect the landscapes we inherit for those who come after us.
