A mountain rises from the canvas, its silhouette doubled by a shadow behind it – presence and echo, certainty and doubt. This is landscape as colonial construct, the Pakeha gaze shaped by generations of seeing land as something to be framed, named, and known. But through the mountain, a line has been rubbed away – interrupted, unmade. It is a quiet yet decisive act of settler responsibility: not erasing the inheritance, but refusing its authority. In the smeared and unresolved mark left behind, the work of unsettling begins.
