Kihi Kihi - Kiss Kiss

Let us keep close together, not far apart.

- Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa.

Two piwakawaka (fantails) face each other, sharing a little kiss, with a red koru heart floating above them. This print is all about closeness, affection, and not taking each other for granted. The words reminds us of the joy of being together, and the fantails symbolize connection and communication. Always flitting nearby and making their “kiss kiss” sounds, they become sweet messengers of aroha.

Choose your style:

Black & White – simple and striking, with the red heart as a focal point
