"In 2014 and 2015 Michael Krzanich explored the undercurrent of remote New Zealand and found a resonance unique to that part of the world. The evocatively personal images in Someone's Mana depict people and places that have a deep connection with the mystical nature of Māori life and the land (whenua). 'Mana' is defined as a supernatural force in a person, place or object. A delicate aspect of Māori culture, mana can be measured as influence, authority, charisma, or spiritual power. Whether inherited or achieved through many complex means, it can also be reduced or lost. Krzanich asks us to imagine what entity and type of mana is represented within the carefully chosen perspective of each photograph."--Wrapping.
