Te Whetū Māmā—The Mother Star—is a tribute to the nurturing force that guides us through darkness into renewal. Inspired by Matariki, the celestial mother in te ao Māori, this work honours the cycle of life: remembering those who have passed, celebrating the present, and looking to the future with hope.
Originally painted in acrylic on wood, the piece weaves soft skin tones and sculptural lines—echoing the form of traditional Māori carving—with a contemporary, feminine strength. It reflects not only the stars above, but the lives they watch over.
