🌍 Part 3: Sustainability & Cultural Connections
7. Māori view the environment (taiao) as a living ancestor — Papatūānuku. How did this idea influence the way you collected and used your materials?

I avoided damaging living plants
I collected only what I needed
I considered how the materials might decompose after use
9. Reflect on your creative process. What was the biggest challenge you faced, and how did you solve it?
10. If you could add one more element to your sculpture to better express a connection to local culture or nature, what would it be and why?
