Maunga teitei

Artist's Interpretation:
With a heartfelt homage to the traditional Niho Taniwha design, Ange Moko crafts a profound narrative about identity and belonging. This piece symbolises the protective embrace of your maunga (mountain), urging a perpetual remembrance of one's origins and the inherent value woven within one's whakapapa (genealogy). It is an invitation to frequently return to the roots that ground us, reinforcing the ties to our land and ancestors.

Materials:
The panel is expertly crafted from MDF board, with faux leather aho (threads) meticulously woven to bring the pattern to life. This modern interpretation of a time-honoured design bridges the gap between tradition and contemporary decor, making it a fitting addition to any space.

Dimensions:

• 420mm x 300mm

Special Note from Ange Moko:
Kia ora! Thank you for choosing this mahi toi (artwork). Each creation is handcrafted with aroha (love), embodying the unique imperfections that signify a human touch. These imperfections are not flaws but rather assurances of your artwork's authenticity and the personal dedication involved in its making.

By bringing this artwork into your space, you're not only adding a piece of aesthetic beauty but also a symbol of life's deeper lessons and the beauty that lies beneath the surface. It's a celebration of resilience, inner strength, and the transformative power of our experiences, inviting reflection and appreciation for the unseen aspects of our journey.
