Emily Esterline (Pākehā) is an interdisciplinary artist whose primarily photographic practice informs her exploration of materiality, ritualism, and the individual's role within the collective. 

Her projects often consider the tension between personal mythology and universal truth, intertwining reflections on time, the cosmic, and nostalgia while tenderly referring to the self.
