Eva During (Eva Ding): Under the Bridge

Eva During retraces the path of Aotearoa New Zealand’s first Chinese immigrants by following the Clutha River to the historic goldmining settlements of Lawrence and Arrowtown, sites that bear witness to their endeavours dating back 160 years. Along this journey, she collects fallen leaves and branches—material embodiments of the land’s temporal memory.
The Chinese proverb 落叶归根 (luò yè guī gēn), translated as “fallen leaves return to their roots,” is a metaphor for the cyclical rhythms of nature and encapsulates a universal human yearning for origin—be it a physical homeland, cultural belonging, or emotional anchorageand is particularly poignant in circumstances of displacement, ageing, and loss.
This exhibition is supported by The Arts House Trust and the Dunedin School of Art, Otago Polytechnic, Te Kura Matatini ki Otago. Eva During is the 2025 recipient of The Arts House Trust & Dunedin School of Art Graduate Exhibition Scholarship.
