Mourning Glory

Lively and harmonious creatures and spirits blend into a lush jungle that includes the kakapu, kiwi, and weka – birds native to New Zealand. At the center, the soul of a woman dressed in Victorian mourning clothes embraces the moa, a reference to New Zealand’s complicated history and heritage. Forget-Me-Not flowers grow from the moa, and a single hopeful morning glory flower blooms in the distant field.
