Tihē mauriora
Ki te whaiao, ki Te Ao Mārama
The breath, the energy of life
To the dawn light, to the world of light

This whale tail is named KAIORA meaning awesome, majestic, formidable.

It depicts the powerful movements and strength contained in the whale's tail. This is symbolic of our ability to change our direction anytime, dive deep into our being and forge a life we are happy with. Thus, it symbolises propelling ourselves towards a worthy and meaningful purpose.

As such, the whale tail is similar to the Matau (fishhook), in that it is symbolic of navigating our lives with wisdom and insight. The main difference is that it shows we are responsible for powering and propelling ourselves towards our ultimate destination.

Included in your package is a note of the carving from the artist.
