Ladies from Juju

Transported back in time to his Aunty Aliti's home in Lautoka, Fiji, this heartfelt family portrait brings together a beloved trio - Daryl Perry's mother, Tonu, his grandmother, and his mother's sisters, Aunty Akesa and Aliti. They sit and catch up in front of Aunty Aliti's house, a place that holds countless cherished childhood memories. The warm smiles on their faces and relaxed body positions reflect the Rotuman way of life - often joking and poking fun at one another, symbolising the love and unity that has been passed down through generations, even with our fractured family.

You can almost feel the tropical breeze gently caressing your skin, hear the laughter and joy echoing through the air, and sense the undeniable warmth of family ties that transcends time and place. It is a nostalgic piece that reminds us of the beauty of family, the richness of heritage, and the enduring power of connection.
