‘Whaia te iti kahurangi ki te tuohu koe he maunga teitei’ - ‘Seek the treasure you value most dearly; if you bow your head let it be before a lofty mountain’
This whakatauki is about aiming high or for what is truly valuable, but its real message is to be persistent and do not let obstacles stop you from reaching your goals. This art piece embodies resilience and determination. With a contemporary interpretation of the New Zealand Korowai, it showcases a harmonious fusion of colors: black, purple, and white. Symbolizing royalty, wisdom, and bravery, the purple feathers convey a sense of regality and strength. Crafted with real hen feathers dyed in shades of white and waiporoporo, this design speaks to the enduring spirit of perseverance.
