Kia Whanake speaks to growth as a lifelong journey. The tiki within the composition draws inspiration from the stages of life before birth, recognising that development begins long before it can be seen. Every phase contributes to our becoming, carrying its own lessons and shaping our understanding of the world around us. Growth often takes place quietly, revealing itself over time through experience, resilience, and the pursuit of new opportunities.
The poutama strengthens this narrative, symbolising the ongoing ascent towards greater knowledge and understanding. Each step represents progress, not perfection. There is always another level to reach and another lesson to learn. This work acknowledges that whanaketanga is not defined by a final destination but by a commitment to keep moving forward. It celebrates human potential and reminds us that growth occurs when we embrace challenges, remain open to learning, and continue striving to become the best version of ourselves.
