Overview
Miss Amituanai comes from a series that focuses on Amituanai’s transition through marriage into a new family. The series also explores the many roles she held at her own wedding - from photographer to bride. Here we see her new sister-in-law Ioka, dressed for the first White Sunday after Edith Amituanai's wedding and the recent passing away of Ioka's father. At right is a heart-shaped, framed wedding photograph of Edith and her husband and next to that one of Ioka's parents.
