In the stillness of night, Aoraki stands beneath Ranganui and alongside Papatūānuku—anchored within a landscape shaped by both presence and story. The rising of Matariki marks a time that is deeply significant, carrying with it the rhythms of the natural world and the knowledge held by tangata whenua.

Matariki signals a period of reflection and connection—honouring those who have passed, gathering with whānau, and looking ahead with intention. It is a moment where past and future sit together, guided by the stars.

This work reflects that sense of stillness and continuity—where light, land, and memory meet.

The original painting has found a home, with a limited number of prints available.
