Description:

This photo essay reimagines how schools are shown and seen in the pages of a magazine. Captured across three Auckland schools, the series removes people from the frame to let the environments speak for themselves. Empty rooms, quiet fields, and corridors full of suggestion reveal the emotional terrain of the school years — formative, complex, and unforgettable.
