Te Mahara – The Memory This wāhine is the one who speaks most to the people who lay eyes on her. She is not based on a memory of any person as such, rather of the feeling and imagination invoked when experiencing Māori culture.
She is the vibration that enters your body as you hear the karanga (call) performed in a pōwhiri (Māori welcome).
She is the goosebumps that raise on the skin as the fierce tangata whenua (people of the land) challenge you with their deafening chants of pride, strength, and unity.
She is the colour of sacred spirituality as you breathe in the depths of the ngāhere (forest), cleanse your feet in the moana (ocean), and soak in the stories of the kuia and kaumātua (elders).
She is the essence of pohewa.
This print comes with a postcard-sized explanation card.
