One of a series of Atua Wāhine (Māori Goddesses) Māori anime-style
Artist Statement: Goddess of Fire, a firekeeper. This is Awhina’s way of bringing awareness to climate change, an ideal gift for children but suitable for people of all ages. Mahuika is a fierce and powerful atua wahine who made great sacrifices through the deeds of her grandson Māui, so that humankind may enjoy the gift of fire. Some of the basic necessities in life came from her generosity enabling us the ability to make heat for warmth, to cook our food, to find our way in darkness. We can demonstrate our gratitude for this gift by using fire responsibly and safely. The stealth of this gift can quickly turn if being abused or treated carelessly.
