"PIWAKAWAKA," a piece sculpted from authentic, naturally textured Burnt Ash, draws inspiration from the iconic fantail's tail feather. This artwork offers a direct connection to the spirit of the Pīwakawaka and the rich, organic beauty found in the landscapes of Aotearoa.
The artwork features a blackened finish, achieved through a traditional burning process that deepens the natural grain before being stained. This texture symbolizes the transformative power of fire—representing the endurance of hardship and the strength found in what remains.
The binding at the top symbolizes the strength of our friendships and whānau (family) ties, illustrating how we are all interconnected.
