This poster is called “mata rua”, a representation of Covid-19 as a taniwha. This poster is based on strength and courage through getting the Covid- 19 vaccination. It is to find belief in this taonga within us to trust that it will help our peoples chances of a better battle. This shows that we need to reflect on our peoples future by doing what's right and what will benefit you, your family and the community. Unity and strength will help us push through this pandemic. This poster is formed by a Maori perspective, adding islander tattoo as well. Using a Maori figure helps to represent two main quotes” mahia te mahi hei painga mo te iwi” and “ Naa te rangatira ki te rangatira” it means that everyone is equal. I’ve used Maori and Pacifica traditional art to uphold the good and bad.
