INSTRUCTIONS: In Maori culture, when you formally introduce yourself in a meeting house it is called a "Mihi". You tell people your canoe, tribe, sub-tribe and family, but you ALSO identify specific geological features to which you "belong". For example, "your" lake, mountain, river, forest etc.

Chose at least three geographical features that you consider "yours". Document them.

Can you tell us more about these landmarks? Why are they important to you? When did you take the pictures?

they mark my growth, development and movement. the cherry tree, grows on the garden of my childhood, flowering on my birthday and offering place of escape, high in its branches. the desert surrounds my second city, the city were I became an adult. it provided me for couple of years with similar hiding qualities as the tree. the lake is now. just outside of my studio and it is the only possible view in the city that doesn't include vertical lines. the place to escape the city. this winter i had the chance to be at all three places within a period of one month.
