Piupiu - Framed

Piupiu - Framed  | Pirihira Hall

Pirihira Hall's "Piupiu" offers a captivating contemporary interpretation of a traditional Māori cultural garment.

This meticulously crafted piece reimagines the piupiu, a flax skirt worn in kapa haka performances, transforming its iconic movement and sound into a static, framed artwork.

Each individual strand, reminiscent of the traditional flax (harakeke), is carefully arranged, capturing the essence of the piupiu's rhythmic rustle and cultural significance within a modern display.

Hall's work invites contemplation on heritage, artistry, and the enduring beauty of Māori craft in a new, accessible form.
