LINCOLN RANGITAAWA
Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga
The designs in this artwork represent my Māori identity and whakapapa and how they represent my self and my whanau.. The koru patterns symbolise new beginnings, growth and new life, while the manaia represents how I aspire to protect my whanau in life down the track.
The red, black and white colours show traditional Māori art and they are the colours of the Tino Rangatiratanga flag. The black represents Te kore ( where it all started), The White Represents Te Ao ( The light and world understanding), and finally the red represents Te Whei Ao (coming into being of the world and the connection to Papatūānuku).
Overall, the artwork reminds us to stay connected to our culture, respect our ancestors and be proud of who we are.
