Have you ever been to a place and felt a calling? Felt a connection that seemed older than time itself? As if you belonged there, somehow? This is called tūrangawaewae (tu-rung-a-why-why) to my people, the Māori of New Zealand. It translates to “the place where you stand”, the place where your ancestors call you home to. Homecoming is a collection that honours this feeling by creating jewellery directly into the sand and soil from these very places. The pieces take on the texture and the spirit of that place, and they become a vessel for your ancestors and spirits to reside when they visit with you. These pieces are a reminder that we are never far from home, that we belong even when we are far away.
