This story reflects my identity and culture. Maori myths and legends are important to our way of life, spirituality and cultural identity. There are themes and issues in all Maori myths and legends which reflect issues faced by today's societies. This particular myth relates to the Maori and their spiritual connection with thier environment, especially Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother.
I intend to tell the story through modern digital photography and techniques, creating contemporary images to represent our ancient myth. Through the images I will endeavour to portray the digital identity of Maori culture, and how we can show our cultural history in the modern digital realm through new artistic techniques and tools.
