Artist’s statement:

Karioi is depicted on her side with her feet dangling in the soothing waters, as opposed to her usual position, lying on her back …

Because of this, the distressed princess of the Maori legend Karioi became to the artist also the symbol of any woman, regardless of time and place …

The question Keite moe koe maybe the start of a conversation between one woman and another, expressing connection, compassion and aroha.
