"Te Tai o te Ao Mārama centres and prioritises the natural world, te taiao, as the primary source of life, and asks us to recalibrate the nature within ourselves. Depicted as a giant mycelial fungi organism, it reproduces itself as it expands and contracts in fractal waves, like the folds of fungi. It represents ideas of vibrational energy, the currents of tides, the movement of water and air, and how that manifests itself in the forms of all living things”
