This captivating piece reimagines New Zealand’s iconic kingfisher (kōtare) through a steampunk lens, adorning the bird with a distinguished top hat and intricate brass cogs that suggest time, ingenuity, and hidden worlds in motion. The kōtare’s vivid blues and unwavering gaze anchor the composition, symbolising clarity, patience, and precision, while the mechanical elements introduce a sense of imagination and innovation layered over tradition. The kingfisher is a guardian and harbinger of peace, prosperity, and safe journeys; here, that meaning is elevated, blending ancient wisdom with a visionary, future-facing aesthetic. Both bold and refined, this artwork is a celebration of individuality and storytelling.
