About Te Koru: The Koru (be folded, spiral, looped, coiled), which is often used in Maori art as a Symbol of Creation, is a scroll Shape linked to New Zealand fern plants. The Koru represents the fern frond, as it opens, bringing new life and purity to the world. Specifically, symbolism is taken from the unfurled New Zealand Silver Fern shoot. The shoot of the fern has a curled-over tip which unfurls to eventually become a fern leaf. As it reaches up towards the light, the new fern shoot strives for perfection encouraging new positive beginnings. The spiral circular shape conveys the "Geometry of Life", being a sacred creation and the idea of perpetual movement. The inward coil suggests a return to the "Point of Origin." The Koru therefore symbolizes the way in which life both changes and stays the same. Our lives are like the koru that slowly unfurls as we grow mentally, physically and spiritually. An integral symbol in Maori culture, carvings and tattoos, the shape is often carved using bone, ivory, shells, or jade. Overall, the Koru depicts the unfolding of new life, new beginnings, growth, and harmony. It also represents peace and movement, tranquility, and spirituality along with a strong sense of regrowth that is shared with another person or persons. The Koru is often associated with nurturing, so when interlocked with others, it is frequently used to represent strength and purity of a loving relationship within a family or close friends depicting endearment as in the form of a parent/child, husband/wife, or best friends (Eternal Friendship). Ferns are an unofficial symbol of New Zealand’s national identity. Their dominance in native bush, and their importance as food and medicine, led to their common use as design elements in traditional Maori carvings while inspiring generations of decorative artwork giving the fern an unassailable place in New Zealand's culture. Everything is reborn and continues, a renewal and hope for the future.
