”As a wahine living in Australia always longing for home, this beautiful taonga re appeared.
Poi has gifted many opportunities to find home within.
To find patience when the world feels noisy. To use my hands to create when I’m riding an emotional wave. To connect to the women who have come before me when I feel lost. To remember I am an extension and embodiment of poi. To remember there is nothing more I need to be then just be.”
