Te Hoahoa

Mō Her Decree Mōwhiti

Ko Her Decree he mōwhiti ka taea hoki te whakamahi hei pene. I ahu mai te hoahoa i te pene huruhuru manu, he tohu hītori o te mātauranga me te mana, kua whakamāoritia anō hei whakaaturanga hou o te kaha. Kei te pito he mata pene konganuku kore waituhi, e taea ai te mōwhiti te noho hei taputapu hainatanga huna, tōtika hoki. I hangaia te āhua huruhuru mā te whakatauira 3D tino tika, ā, i mahia mā te whakarewa waihanga wākihi-ngaro taipitopito nui, e hoatu ana ki te hanganga te rere whakairoiro me te kaha. E tohu ana te mōwhiti i te mana o te wahine ki te tuhi i tōna ake haere.

Kete Pāpāho

Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.

Āhuatanga Motuhake: A ring that can write. A pen that can be worn. Inspired by the quill pen, this piece transforms a historic symbol of knowledge and authority into a contemporary expression of power. The tip incorporates an inkless alloy pen tip, allowing the ring to function as a subtle and precise signing instrument. It represents the power of a woman to define, declare, and write her own destiny.
Inenga & Pēketanga: 26mm x 22mm x 28mm
Tūtohu: quill pen, female empowerment, wearable design, functional jewelry, symbolic design, contemporary jewelry, inkless pen
Hangarau Whakanao: The ring is developed through precision 3D modeling and produced using high-detail lost-wax casting. The feather structure is digitally engineered to maintain both sculptural fluidity and structural strength.
Wero Hoahoa: The primary challenge of this project was translating the symbolic meaning of the quill pen into a contemporary ring form without reducing it to literal decoration. The design required balancing sculptural elegance with structural durability. Integrating an inkless writing mechanism within a fine jewelry scale presented technical constraints related to precision, material strength, and wearability. Additional challenges included maintaining aesthetic refinement while ensuring functional reliability. These obstacles were addressed through iterative digital modeling, structural reinforcement strategies, and material testing to achieve both conceptual integrity and practical feasibility.
Rangahau: This project investigates the historical symbolism of the quill pen as an instrument of knowledge and authority from the sixth to seventh century onward. Research focused on the relationship between writing, power structures, and gender identity in European history. Methods included historical literature review, visual analysis of royal documentation artifacts, and material experimentation through digital modeling and prototyping. The design integrates symbolic abstraction with functional innovation by incorporating an inkless writing mechanism within a wearable object. The result is a ring that reinterprets authorship as a contemporary expression of female agency and personal sovereignty.
Whakaaweawe: This ring is inspired by the quill pen, widely used across Europe from the sixth to seventh century onward. In that era, knowledge was inseparable from divine authority and writing symbolized power and order. Reimagined as a ring, the flowing feather express grace and softness while the pen represents intellect and discernment. It embodies a balance of elegance and wisdom and symbolizes a woman writing her own power.
