What is Vahine Tatau?
Vahine Tatau is a long-term personal photography project, intended for an exhibition and a book. Through a black-and-white series, I explore the links between the female body, Polynesian tattooing and identity. The project deals with memory, transmission and cultural heritage, with an intimate and respectful approach. Discover the project
