Where our energy transports, who and how we use it can come back on us in many ways.

Surrounding ourselves with those who give us peace is not selfish, after all this is our life, we control our substance much like others control theirs.

This peace can look different to all, dont stress if someone isnt meeting what you thought they might and vice versa.
Peace, figure out what that is to you and do what serves you.

Comparison is to figure out how we measure up to others.

It's one of the most basic ways we develop an understanding of who we are, what we're good at, and what we're not so good at.

We bounce in and out of positive self belief and negative social outlook, lets keep it positive!

It is about geneology, whakapapa & uri all of which relate to status and hierachy. Whānau, iwi & hapū that acknowledge who we are.

Te Uri Poutama, the steps, the building blocks to all that is rangatiratanga.

Everydays, our small earring sets to be added to the online store.

The poutama design used to represent growth. In Māori understanding the staircase that Māori god Tane climbed to heaven to get the three baskets of knowledge for Māori.

He Māori ahau, a powerful note to self and to others. How people receive it purely comes from their understanding and relationship with te ao Māori - based on love, anger, injustice, identity, strength etc

This is the act of art, I paint what I feel, you receive how you feel. Not everyone has the same idea in mind and thats ok.
