Statement

Te Ihu Karaiti, depicts my connection to my faith, culture, my identity. A Māori god with tā moko etched into his skin stands defiant, strong. The halo, radiant circle surrounding his head represents spirituality through the symbolism of light. The pattern was inspired by the tukutuku pattern niho taniwha. My genealogy mana that has been passed down to me.
