Kupu: He taonga tuku iho te rama ataata
(The light that reveals our legacies)

Materials: 100% silk

Artwork by Lucy de Young Hakaraia. The design features a takapū (gannet) soaring across the moana. Takapū are remarkable manu, built for both effortless flight and high-speed dives to catch fish. They can travel more than 500km in a day, gliding on outstretched two-metre wings. Leaving the nest early, they journey as far as Australia, spending their first years in motion before returning home to nest.
