Pānia | Stories Behind the Art
The sea maiden of Ahuriri
Pānia sits within a sea of curling waves, her stillness giving the artwork a quiet centre. This contemporary artistic response to Pānia of the Reef invites a closer look at the design and the published accounts connected to Ahuriri.

A closer look at the story
The full leaflet introduces Pānia, Karitoki and Moremore through named published tellings, while keeping the visual interpretation distinct from the ancestral account.
The artwork and visual readings are Aroha Artisan’s contemporary interpretation. The leaflet includes published sources for further learning about the traditions and communities connected to the story.
