About This Piece
The koru, which is often used in Māori art as a symbol of creation, is based on the shape of an unfurling fern frond. Its circular shape conveys the idea of perpetual movement, and its inward coil suggests a return to the point of origin.
The koru therefore symbolises the way in which life both changes and stays the same representing peace, tranquility, personal growth, positive change and awakening. It is associated with new life and harmony.
A form of the koru has been used in this light-catcher, linked with representations of the four elements, Fire, Water, Earth & Air and therefore creating a simple piece that represents life.
