There’s a moment - gentle, unspoken - when you realise you’ve been welcomed. Not just seen, not just tolerated, but truly held.
He Became Home captures that feeling in its purest form: a majestic stag, still and steady beneath the soft weight of two small native birds - the pīwakawaka and bellbird — who have chosen his antlers as their perch. Bathed in the soft warmth of golden hour, this unlikely gathering becomes a symbol of belonging beyond borders.
This work honours the quiet strength it takes to become a place of safety for others. It’s about the beauty of allowing others to land, to rest, and to sing - even when you come from different worlds.
Because sometimes, home isn’t a place. It’s a presence.
