Photographer and friend Holly Burgess invited us into her bathroom, in Auckland New Zealand, sharing with us how she sees bathing as a spiritual reconnection to her ancestry, the importance of a mood-matching soundtrack, and how the act of cleansing returns her to herself.
"Bathing in the everyday sense to me is a reset. Returning to Tangoroa is a full body cleanse to reground myself and release any worries or fears from the day.Bathing in the everyday sense to me is a reset.

"Bathing in the everyday sense to me is a reset. Returning to Tangoroa is a full body cleanse to reground myself and release any worries or fears from the day.
Nothing cures me like returning to the waters of my ancestors in the Hokianga harbour."
"I am most connected myself when I am up north with my whānau in the lands and waters of my ancestors."
- Holly Burgess
"I always have music playing when bathing at home, the type of music always depends on my intentions for the space. It's likely to be slow morning jams or something poppy with good bass to energise me"
"I take inspiration from the woman in my whānau and close circle of friends. They are some of the smartest and most elegant women I know."
"I am currently manifesting more balance and rest."
