“The Guiding Hands of Matariki” reflects the beauty, strength, and guidance of Matariki, the whaea star of the constellation, who rises alongside her children to signal the beginning of the Māori New Year.
Set above the prominent Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Wai maunga of Manaia, the work speaks to reflection, connection to whenua, and the relationship between people, environment, and wairua. The silhouette of the maunga merges with Matariki’s form like a kākahu, symbolically connecting her to both Papatūānuku and Ranginui.
Her hands act as a gentle compass, holding the whetū together as one moving whānau, embodying guidance, unity, and renewal.
