Ko Au Te Maunga

Description: "Ko au te maunga" is a profound statement of identity and connection to the land, brought to life through this evocative piece by Ange Moko. This artwork captures the essence of our maunga (mountain), layering history upon history in a visual narrative that speaks to the soul. The deliberate white spaces between each layer serve as a poignant reminder: the importance of passing down our stories to ensure they, and the invaluable lessons they carry, are never lost.
