Awa Iti

"Awa Iti" stands as a diminutive counterpart to its grand inspiration, "Awa," encapsulating the essence of the Awakino Gorge in a more intimate scale. As its name suggests, it mirrors the larger artwork's homage to the countless journeys through the gorge, resonating with the spirit of New Zealand's riverside landscapes that carve their way through lush bush-clad gorges, often mirroring the roads that wind alongside them.

"Awa Iti" serves as a testament to the creative process of exploration and discovery, celebrating the profound influence of nature in inspiring and captivating the human spirit.
