Kihi Kihi - Kiss Kiss
Let us keep close together, not far apart.
- Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa
Kihi Kiki is about the importance of maintaining close relationships, staying connected, supporting each other to thrive. Here the fantails symbolise connection and communication, always flitting nearby and with their “kiss kiss” sounds, they become messengers of love. Perfect for a couple, as a gift for someone special, or just to celebrate being close. This te reo Māori art print is all about love, playfulness, and connection.

Amber Smith is a ceramic artist and printmaker who honours her connection to Ngāti Wai through her child. Inspired by the natural beauty of Aotearoa, especially our native birdlife, her work celebrates te ao Māori and seeks to foster connection, understanding, and respect. Often drawing on whakataukī (proverbs) and waiata (songs), Amber combines te Reo Māori and English to create uplifting works that carry messages of love, hope, and self worth, creating meaningful pieces to gift yourself or someone special.
