‘The Unknowns’ is a collage series focusing on photography of unidentified people in New Zealand from the late 19th and early 20th century. 

With a clash of cultures, this was an important and turbulent time in New Zealand's history.

Who are these unidentified persons? 

What are their stories? 

What was New Zealand like for them?

Through the pieces, Williamson delves into her own cultural identity as a New Zelander with English and Scottish heritage. 

She explores the story of these unidentified people, presenting a peek into the past and paying homage to her homeland.
