This beautification project was a collaboration with the Christian youth group – the K-town shakers, based here on the Kaeo Mainstreet.

The idea was to produce an image relevant to Kaeo, something we could all relate to?

What stood out to me where the recent floodings that the township and area of Whangaroa had experienced, which is what the visuals became.

In a biblical sense the waves painted in Japenesse style, also suggest the great floods.

In Te Ao Maori, they are a direct representation of Tangaroa, atua of the sea.

Thankyou to the rangatahi who particpated in the creation of this painting. It was a pleasure working with you!
