As the ancient wisdom traditions say, "as above, so below”. In painting this work with its intricately spiralling koru, Sofia was enjoying this sense of dawn and new beginnings. The fern leaves and a Mandala also joins Māori designs at the Kākā's heart centre to establish a sacred space. Mandala, which translates as 'circle', is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe. Limited edition 248/275. Framed with non-reflective glass (70% UV block).
