Andante marks my emergence as a photographer through a profound personal transformation. As a linguistics and archaeology student, I discovered the Austronesian people—ancient seafaring civilizations that originated in Taiwan and dispersed across the Pacific thousands of years ago.
Andante marks both my emergence as a photographer and the beginning of lifelong exploration. This book stands complete as an invitation: to walk through landscapes where contemporary Indigenous wisdom and ancient connections continue their dialogue, and to experience how place transforms both what we photograph and who we become.
