Description
The painting is of the Kokako which is a native bird of New Zealand. The bird is reknown for its beautiful bird call. The birds posture in the painting is like the diva of an opera before or perhaps after the final curtain call. In essence, all the combined elements are one as they allude to the mystical union of an Atua in nature.
