winter. Understanding the movement of the stars and planets across one’s mortal, and much more temporary, existence helps us to interpret the longer cosmic journeys that form suggestive shapes in our life. We begin to understand ourselves as stardust existing as coordinates of each other. And that the transitions that affect life forms as large as planets do have an impact on our overall demeanor.Claudia Kogachi is a Sagittarius sun entering her 29th sun rotation—and into the very first ~homecoming~ of Saturn that she will experience. It takes around 29.5 years for this planet to complete a full orbit around
the sun and return to the same place in the sky that it was when you were born. This is called the Saturn Return, a pivotal rite of passage.'
- Van Mei

Just Girly Things from the exhibition Of Strands and Stars signifes Kogachi's approach to this astrological milestone and her exploration of profound change. The work portrays her as both an individual and part of a broader constellation of relationships, navigating themes of friendship, identity, and belonging within her queer community.Artwork CopyrightAll rights reservedArt CollectionLincoln University Art CollectionKeywordsFigures | tāngata
