"Loss" portrays the native species Aotearoa has already lost: the Moa, Haast Eagle, Huia, Laughing Owl, Chatham Island Bellbird, Greater Short-tailed Bat, and the most recent extinction, the South Island Kōkako. These now-silent taonga are set against a photographic backdrop of decimated forest — stripped bare by deer and possum. The landscape is hauntingly quiet, a visual echo of what has been erased.
