HOTUROA: Navigator of Legacies

This project centres around the creation of a hand-drawn storybook inspired by a traditional Māori carving story. Each page is carefully illustrated to convey the depth and cultural significance of the narrative, capturing the essence of Māori storytelling through a blend of artistic techniques and symbolism. The project emphasizes a strong connection to Māori heritage, showcasing intricate visual storytelling that brings the carving's tale to life. It reflects a deep respect for tradition and a creative approach to preserving and sharing cultural stories through art.
