Walking Sunny Home is a fictional pūrākau (story) set in the central North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand, developed to raise awareness of palliative care within Māori communities. Written by Dr. Tess Moeke-Maxwell, the narrative draws on extensive research into Māori end-of-life experiences, where whānau play a central role in caring for those who are seriously unwell. This reflects a broader cultural reality in Aotearoa, where much of palliative care is carried out within family structures, grounded in values such as manaakitanga and collective responsibility. Constructed through staged studio photography with whānau, the imagery was carefully composed and assembled in Photoshop. Through this process, the work bridges research and design, creating an intimate and culturally grounded narrative that brings visibility to a topic often underrepresented in both public discourse and visual communication.
