"Te Pito Te Kura”
Te Pito Te Kura means the navel of light. At Rapa Nui Island Te Pito Te Kura is a sacred place next to the bay Hanga Hoonu.
In this painting Te Pito Te Kura is related to the moon goddess Hina.
She is a very powerfull goddess that protect fishermen and brings fertility and light to the people.
Cristina Amotunui, wife of a fisherman living in Rapa Nui gently donated the original fingerprint for this interpretation.
