This painting represents: Freedom and the Divine Connection to Spirit; Whakapapa and water as our Life Source. Water connects us all, bridging the distance not only between lands, but throughout history and beyond into future. Its energy and fluidity reminds us not only to be mindful of nature and to take care of Papatūānuku (Mother Earth) as she nutures us, but also prompts us to overflow abundantly with love, to move with the changes in our external and internal environment and to remember how water and love sustains and connects us all.
