The Boys

2022 – Present

This project follows a group of teenagers in the heart of Outback Australia, as they navigate their lives pulled between the expectations of contemporary Australian society and their own Aboriginal culture and knowledge. The Boys’ way of being resonates with a deep-seated awareness of kinship and an intrinsic connection to all, a relationship that isn’t taught within the confines of a classroom or articulated in words but instead felt and shared innately.

In The Boys, I attempt to depcit moments that unveil these invisible threads binding us all. The series reveals not only the profound unity intrinsic to the boys perspective, but also the contridictions emanating from Western ideals which focus on possession and a disconnection from the universal life force.

This project is a work in progress.
