This logo shows connection between hapū wāhine (pregnant women) and with the earth to show how wāhine carry entire worlds within us. The figure represents that connection to the divine, the giver of life. Illustrating a clear flow and nurturing feeling, with water playing a strong part in the hair and belly, as water is life and the giver of life, so are we.
Showing Aotearoa in a way we don't usually see it as well, toward the 'top' of the world instead of the 'bottom', to have it centred, as our whenua is our world, we love it dearly, we hold it close.
I drew this image with our atua wāhine in mind (Papatūānuku and Hine Moana), and to reflect upon how our hauora (health) is so intrinsically connected to te taiao, to the health of the earth.
