Māori Cultural Symbolism Explored in Art Installation
An art installation is described as being meaningful and symbolic of resilience to Māori people. The artwork uses 'Tikoka', which was historically used to line 'Uru Pa'. The placement of the artwork evokes a 'korowai' or cloak of mourning, hence its black color. The natural falling of leaves is also noted as a common element.
