In 'untitled nudes', Tini appropriates artworks by Western Orientalist painters such as Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and François Boucher and positions his fair-skinned, Maaori, male, and Queer body against the exotic female nude. These photographs were taken with a mobile phone camera during the 2020 lockdown in the back room of his parents' house. In contrast to the studio portraits, these coloured photographs are playful, grainy and over-exposed in areas.
