Description: Digital Print, 310gsm Ilford Galerie Smooth Cotton Rag Fine Art Print, Framed
Dimension: A2
This piece is part of my Matariki Series, originally created in 2021 to honour the first official Matariki holiday. In 2025, I returned to this kaupapa with new skills and deeper intention, remaking Waitī as a tribute to the life-sustaining energy of freshwater and the intimate relationships Māori have with our awa.
Inspired by the bold aesthetic of Robyn Kahukiwa — particularly her depictions of Atua and mana wāhine — this piece carries the energy of guardianship, whakapapa, and the gaze of ancestral presence. Waitī speaks to nourishment, care, and the need to protect the sacred waters that feed and shape us.
