I am Hine, I am Moana delves into the omnipotence of Hine, the ageless, divine, feminine principle that flows directly from the universe, manifesting through all wahine in various roles and stages of life. Hine connects us all to the endless cycle of creation and destruction. She will provide for us, protect us, and when necessary, humble us. I am Hine, I am Moana pays reverence to the role of Hine in navigating physical, spiritual, environmental, and cultural cycles of change.
