Imperial Whenua Guard A2 10/40 - Digital Print  | Paora Tiatoa 

This limited-edition print by Paora Tiatoa powerfully fuses the iconic Star Wars Imperial Guard figure with intricate traditional Māori design .

The artwork features a striking figure in an orange robe, resembling an Imperial Guard, rendered in orange and black. The figure carries a traditional Māori axe (patiti or toki) and is accompanied by a brightly coloured skull or mask on the ground.

The title, "Imperial Whenua Guard," references the land (whenua), connecting the Empire's might to the concept of Māori protection and guardianship.

This series uses recognizable pop culture figures to explore the complexities of a modern Māori worldview in a globalized society.

The work is offered as a limited edition print, numbered 10/40.

A powerful, one-off statement of identity, tradition, and global influence, rooted in Aotearoa.

 

Digital Print
This artwork is created using digital design software (such as on a computer, laptop, or iPad). The final digital file is then printed by the artist using a high-quality Ink-Jet printer. This process gives the artist complete freedom to manipulate design elements, colour saturation, and size, allowing them to create a unique piece through their digital abilities. The Ink-Jet process also enables the creation of multiple prints from the final design.
