Pou Rama - Light Posts
Pou Rama is about light dispersing from an upright structure that tells a story inspired from Te Taiao, the natural environment. Pou give us a sense of security and hope, the light that it emanates also acting as a beacon drawing people in to read imagery and understand the stories portrayed. Design and create a free-standing pou form (post) that emanates light from the inside out using shapes and patterns deriving from Te Taiao.
