Artist statement

Out of Many is inspired by the similarities of racialized and Indigenous cultures through the globe and the idea that 'we belong to each other'.

Tafui’s practice is informed by the idea that through the understanding of our histories and shared experiences, we become united as people, as cultures, and to the earth.
