The islands we come from.The people we belong to.

The sea separates land. Not people.

We come from islands.

Places separated by water, but connected by people.

Some of us still live there.

Some of us left generations ago.

Some know every road, every beach, every family name.

Others know the islands through stories, food, music, language and the memories of those before us.

NUSAKIN exists for that connection.

Not just where you live.

Where you belong.

Born from islands. Bound by kin.

The archipelago

We are not from one island.

We are shaped by thousands.

Islands may be separated by water.
People are not.

Drawn, not surveyed. The names are the ones our kin give; the shapes are ours.

Your island.

One name, set large across the back, with the line this house is built on underneath it. The body and the colour are yours; the words under the name never change.
