This image separates into two distinct and familiar parts: Papa the earth mother and Rangi the sky father. In this work the earth appears to be twisting in turmoil and the bird form soars overhead, a lonely feather is a symbol or message perhaps about the loss of habitat and threat of ominous environmental issues.
