Collaboration - Koru School

The Koru represents new beginnings, life, and hope. The iconic spiral, shaped like the frond of Aotearoa's native silver fern, is a beloved form in many Māori designs. Often used in pounamu carving, the koru carries layers of meaning: the outer curve represents perpetual movement and the cycle of life, while the inner coil speaks to grounding - a return to origin.
