Celebrate the Māori New Year with Ngā Whetū o Matariki – 2025 Edition by Willa Black. This special release honours the rising of the Matariki star cluster — a time for remembrance, gratitude for the present, and aspirations for the year ahead. Soft twilight greens and glowing whetū create a calm, contemporary piece that carries meaning all year round. Designed and printed in Aotearoa on premium stock, it’s a thoughtful artwork for homes, classrooms and workplaces that wish to acknowledge Matariki with beauty and intent. See in the Artist's Description below.
Matariki, also known as the Pleiades star cluster, heralds the beginning of the Māori New Year and is a time of reflection, remembrance, and renewal. Each star has a Māori name and each has its own special meaning to Māori.
