His work is driven by emotional honesty and a fascination with transformation - how desire, vulnerability, and identity shift when truth finally breaks free. His single ‘Tiger in the Garden’ reflects on the frustrations of adulthood, the pressure to succeed, and the quiet grief of putting dreams on hold to survive.

Whether she is telling stories through music, visual arts or fashion, Tīpare skilfully weaves together the knowledge she has collected from her life experiences and funnels it into her art.
