Awa Iti is a smaller companion to the larger work Awa, capturing the quiet strength and beauty of the Awakino Gorge in a more intimate frame. Inspired by the countless journeys through its winding terrain, this imagined scene draws on the distinct rhythm of rivers that carve through bush-covered valleys, flowing alongside the roads that shadow them. The work honours the creative act of finding form through feeling — a gesture toward the deep connection between land and memory.
