Hine

With her eyes closed, she rests in a moment of inner strength. Painted in smooth, natural tones, her skin and features are rendered with gentle realism, while the dark background keeps the focus entirely on her presence. The carved taonga at her chest anchors the portrait in whakapapa and identity, quietly asking how much is needed to feel a true sense of belonging.
