TE HAEATA: ‘Te Haeata’ means ‘beam of light’ and symbolises the first and last rays of the sun, serving as an artistic metaphor that connects us to the past, present, and future. In this portrait, a living face stands proud as a true testament to those who have come before her. With every twinkle of light, every glistening wave, and every rising and setting sun, comes hope for a new generation. This is the very moment when dawn becomes dusk and dusk becomes dawn.
She represents our future. Just as the Tahitian navigators graced the shores of Aotearoa many moons ago and became the ancestors of many Māori, their legacy lives on in us. As the land was vast, innovation flourished, leading to incredible technological and artistic achievements. By looking back to move forward, we create a better world, honouring our past while embracing the potential of our future.
