(re)turning tee

A shape drawn while longing for home, in the deeper sense of reclamation. We are still here.

the design · te whakaaro

This design began as a feeling before it was a shape. It arrived without a plan; a longing for home that runs past the wish to simply ‘go back’. It sits with reclamation, the ongoing work returning to what is ours.

The words fill the picture, ‘we are still here’. Country endures, language continues, people remain, after everything built to remove us.
