Sean Yi, from series Ihumātao

This is a short record of protest actions at Ihumātao in 2019. A number of views are mixed on this land - the history of New Zealand, human rights, historic preservation, development and private properties. And those views are invisible to our sight directly. However we can observe where they have been formed and have appeared as human interaction within that area.

"I wanted to describe the situation with my camera. I also wanted to focus on describing the protesters' passion toward what they believe, as they are one side of reflection of that conflict." - Sean Yi
