Ka Mua Ka Muri Crew by Huriana Kopeke-Te Aho

About the design

A Manaia rests above and below as messengers between the living and dead.

Two figures stand at each other side with the movement of Te Kore and Te Ao Marama

Kawakawa adorned at the corners, representing both grief and healing

Ka mua, Ka muri in text with motif echoes the endless new beginnings and returning to a point of origin.
