"MAHIGAWA" (Magic/Spell) is a moving image work featuring Lara Chuo and Cypris Afakasi, exploring self-celebration and self-doubt. Set against Northcote Central’s urban landscape, the piece presents the artists as gods from their indigenous histories, juxtaposing divine figures in a pedestrian setting to challenge conventional notions of vanity, pride, and narcissism. Through captivating performances and evocative imagery, "Mahigawa" invites viewers to examine their relationship with self-love, and experience the transcendent beauty of embracing their own divine reflection.
