“Paua” is an abstract art piece inspired by the abalone shell, which carries profound spiritual significance. In Maori culture, the paua shell symbolizes strength, resilience, and a profound connection to the sea. It is believed to bestow good luck, abundance, and protection upon its possessors. Within spiritual circles, the paua shell represents transformation and awakening, acting as a catalyst to balance and align our chakras, enhancing intuition and psychic abilities. “Paua” serves as a potent reminder of the latent power and enchantment within us all.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been intimately connected with the ocean, which has been my muse throughout my life. Its captivating beauty and awe-inspiring presence have profoundly influenced my existence, from the exhilaration of freediving and savoring abalone, to the serenity of riding the waves while surfing. Each day, I wear the paua shell as a cherished token, a constant testament to the deep-seated bond I share with the sea.
Having spent many years living on an island, I’ve absorbed the very essence of this paradise into my being. ‘Paua’ is a canvas infused with the ocean’s gentle whispers and the island’s enduring spirit. This piece is a heartfelt tribute to the magic of the abalone shell and the limitless wonders of the sea. May it resonate deeply with your soul and transport you to the heart of the ocean’s most profound mysteries.
