This is Kim. She is a petite tattooed middle-aged Māori wāhine who is smiling and wearing glasses. Her outfit today is: leopard spot velvet dress with tube top and gold belt. She is dancing in her office.

Inspired by Samoan poet and academic Albert Wendt's poem - Inside us the dead.

"Inside me the dead
woven into my flesh like the
music
of bone flutes

my polynesian fathers
who escaped the sun's wars,
seeking
these islands by prophetic stars"

Self-portrait.

Ready sans jewellery & makeup #hysterectomy
A smiling person wearing red round glasses and a mint green gown with small decorative motifs, their hair pulled back in a bun. They’re making a peace sign with their hand and have a tattoo visible on their forearm and a hospital wristband. The photo is taken against a plain white wall.
