Description

Why Must I Wait For Night? is a painting 8 foot square, oil paint on canvas with mylar transparency photo-collage. The images refer to the influence of Samoan polytheism and the post-colonial monotheistic churches in the Samoan Islands, as well as fa'afafine trans-queer culture of Polynesia, and my personal history. The church in upper corner was built by my great grandfather in Leone village where I grew up.
