ASTRAPIA

Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea, 2006

"Made from the feathers and bodies of various Birds of Paradise, tribesmen in the highlands of Papua New Guinea pride themselves on their elaborate personal decoration. Though the headdress was a prized possession, passed on from generation to generation, I chose to focus on the eyes reminding us of our shared humanity."
