The Welcome Project (2/2) 2010

Filmed in Auckland International Airport, Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.

The use of the word welcome referenced the nature of the definition as a double edge sword. On one hand it invites and on the other it identifies a person as visitor. This was also intended to propose a question of when the word welcome becomes relevant or irrelevant for a person who has immigrated to Aotearoa New Zealand.
