Broken Native
"Broken Native" is a personal exploration of my decolonizing journey as a Maori designer, representing the process of rediscovering and reconnecting with my lost Maoritanga and Tikanga. Through blending Maori frameworks with contemporary designs, my aim is to foster cultural sustainability and challenge stereotypes, sparking conversations and inspiring others to embark on similar journeys. It's a testament to the importance of embracing culture in a contemporary world. The past shapes our present and future; we carry our heritage forward, living it in the present, and ensuring its place in the future.
