Peta Duncan (she/her), Meriam
Reverent Rains, 2025
photographic and cyanotype print on Hahnemuhle bamboo paper, framed
75 x 99 x 2 cm

This work layers a medium-format photograph with a cyanotype print, bringing together two moments from separate visits to my village in 2022 and 2025. In one, two young boys venture out onto the reef in the rain, hoping to catch fish. In another, a haul of fish lies side by side on the grill, awaiting the fire. Layered together, these images converge in dialogue.

This piece reflects the gentle balance of care between ocean and people. As the rain softens the boundaries between sea and sky, between past and present, and between ancestors and us. My work is an ode to the quiet poetry of everyday life on Mer Island and the reverence of ancestral presence in the simple acts of carrying a spear, walking the reef and preparing a meal.
