🌀 Ruamoko me tōna whaea
This sacred image captures Ruamoko, the unborn atua (god) of earthquakes and volcanoes, nestled within the womb of Papatūānuku. His energy stirs below the earth, a reminder of potential, emotion, and the pulse of life. Tā moko designs are intricately woven throughout the piece, representing whakapapa, protection, and the deep interconnection between mother and child, atua and whenua.

☀️ Te Rā – The Sun
A radiant depiction of Te Rā, the sun — source of light, energy, and growth. This design is alive with Māori motifs and tā moko patterns, expressing movement, renewal, and balance. It reminds us of the cycles of life and the role of Te Rā as a kaitiaki (guardian) of time and warmth.

🌿 Māori Storytelling Woven in Every Line
Each piece is more than clothing — it's a kōrero tuku iho (story handed down). From the flowing curves to the bold lines of tā moko, every detail speaks to our ancestors, atua, and connection to the taiao (natural world).
