This wheku mask represents a deeply personal entry into traditional carving, hand-sculpted from native New Zealand kauri. The rich grain of the ancient timber brings a natural warmth and permanence to the form. Vibrant pāua shell eyes pierce through the clean geometric lines, bridging tangible materials with spiritual gaze. Sealed with natural oils to protect the wood, this mask honours ancestral roots while capturing a distinct milestone in my developing artistic journey.
