' Drums of the Island are Beating in my Heart '

OMG OMG OMG! EVERYONE ! THIS IS A MUST SEE PHOTOGRAPHS ! LOL !

haha nah just kidding ;-) .. anyways ..

These are my new photographs that I have taken very recently. FINALLY! After long thoughts, hard thinking, lilttle bits of slacking of; my ideas have come rushing back. With the help of Mrs Clemence, she has suggested that I should include another source to my concept, an island jewellery; the Kahoa*. I love how the Kahoa make the drums stand and has more meaning to my concept. The reason I have used the necklace was to show the importance of the male and female roles in a Tongan society and environment. The necklace symbolizes the role of a female as a traditional dancer or how they are being dressed up formally. The drums symbolizes the role of the male as he plays for the female as they dance; as it's not that common for females to play this part. So the way that I'm going to do this is, is to mix these roles and see how it will affect the Tongan culture itself and also the effects of how the roles are meant to be.

So therefore, there will be more accurate photos of me playing the drums as it will differ from original roles.

I've decided that I will also use my 12yr old brother Siaosi (George) as part of my concept to play the female role. I will explain further on, on what I will be doing to portray this.
