The kaupapa of the collaborative work is Matariki. Each artist explored this theme in their medium and produced a panel that reflected their Matariki theme. The star panel has seven red woven niho taniwha-triangles (this represents the seven stars of Matariki), they are red to represent the Mana wahine of the seven sisters. The woven stars represent the galaxy with the seven white stars again speaking of Matariki, these stars also reflect our tipuna and nga taonga tuku iho the treasures that have come from the heavens and which we try to protect, preserve and promote.
