It symbolises guidance, whakapapa, and the strength we inherit from those who came before us. The following kōwhaiwhai through the centre represents that connection — ongoing, living, and always moving forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe repetitive design speaks our stories, values, and identity that have been passed down through generation and doesn’t fade. They grow, just like the aka (vine), branching out but always tied to the same source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAround the edges, I’ve used niho taniwha (the teeth of the taniwha) as a protective border. It is used to represent strength, leadership, and the challenges we face. In this piece, it acts as a protection and reminder of the power that surrounds and supports us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI chose red, white, and black to keep it traditional. Red for life and connection, black for strength and potential, white for clarity and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis work is about legacy and the strength in knowing where you come from, and the responsibility to carry it forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrame Colour: Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDimensions: 95cm x 35cm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAll canvas prints are signed and numbered\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eimages are watermarked for copyright purposes only, and they will NOT appear on prints that are purchased\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moko Ariki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561161163057,"sku":"","price":400.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/5768\/7601\/files\/3E78F191-7313-47A4-8DB5-FE2C58B645C5.jpg?v=1750830531","url":"https:\/\/mokoariki.com\/products\/te-aka-matua-printed-framed-canvas","provider":"Moko Ariki","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
