Six Days in Samoa explores the veneer one encounters when they enter as a contemporary tourist into an Island ‘Paradise’. Inspired by her recent travels to Upolu, Western Samoa, and the proliferation of online travel imagery, van Zon repurposes her own travel snaps through contemporary embroidery, photography and beadwork.
