This wristband with minimal blank spaces, and many elements derived from the Marquesan tradition, was requested by Kathleen.
The symbol in the middle, recalling a sun, is actually a stylization of a navel, and it symbolizes independence; the symbol inside of it is an enata (person), like the two ones on the right of the navel/sun. The one in the middle has a different style compared to the other two to represent being unique. On the left there´s a sea shell, a symbol of love and shelter. Above the enatas, on the left, there is an ipu, a symbol of femininity and fertility, and on the right there´s a traditional lizard (good luck). The two tikis facing opposite directions represent protection from every side and the shark teeth motif surrounding them recalling a sun symbolizes adaptability and strength. The sun represents life and eternity.
The chess motif represents games, joy and happy moments.
