— Te Huirangi Eruera Waikerepuru, 2015
Ka whakamahia te hangarau matihiko ka puta mai ai he whakaaro e pā ana ki te “mariko”, ko te mauri me ngā tikanga hei here i te taonga me te tangata, ā, ka whakawhitia te wā roa me te wāhi roa. He whakamaumaharatanga a ‘Te Mauri’ ki tētahi tauihu (Te Ātiawa) me te tira nā rātou te taonga i kawe ki tāwāhi mō te whakaaturanga Te Maori 1984-1985 (USA) me Te Hokinga Mai 1986-1987 (NZ). Ko whakaaturia a ‘Te Mauri’ hei hanga ata kōroto i Trigger Points, Te Āporo Nui, i 2016 (J Pallitz Gallery, Syracuse University, Te Āporo Nui).
I roto i te whakaaturanga o Mana Moana kua whakahoungia te pakiwaituhi hei whakaatu i te haerenga koki huripū ā-karu, ā-taringa hoki. Mā roto i tēnei whakatakotoranga ipurangi, ka taea e ngā kaimātaki te hāngai i waenganui i ngā tongiiti rāiti o tēnei pikitia matihiko. Ka karangahia te pikitia e te karakia me te maioha, ko te taonga hoki, ngā tīpuna me te whakaaturanga e hui tahi ai ēnei mea katoa. Ka whai tātou i te ara o ngā tikanga me ngā taonga, ka maumahara anō tātou ko wai tātou: ko te mouri, ko te māramatanga e whiti tonu ana, i tō tātou noho i Te Ao Mārama.
