Another picture to acknowledge the first day of spring here in sunny Blenheim.
Koru (in Maori means life, growth, movement). The koru shape is a scroll shape and is linked to the New Zealand fern plant. The shoot of the fern has a curled-over tip, which unfurls and becomes a fern leaf. The koru reaches towards the light, striving for perfection, encouraging new positive beginnings. The koru represents the unfolding of new life, that everything is reborn and continues. It represents renewal and hope for the future. Spiral, geometry of life, sacred creation.
I just love this shape because it is both aesthetically pleasing and for its cultural significance to the New Zealand Maori.
