Turangawaewae means a place to stand - unfortunetly it doesn't just mean where you are physically because that would mean that this project would be full of photos of me standing around (1)
As I say it doesn't just apply to your physical location. Turangawaewae covers who a person is, where they came from and where they're going. It gives someone more complete picture of an individuals identity rather than just knowing them by name.
That's pretty deep.
