"The ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time." — H.P. Lovecraft
In Māori tradition, Te Wheke-a-Muturangi was no mere beast—it was navigator, mapmaker, and force of will. Its tentacles stretched across the Pacific, charting the ancestors' path. Its story lives in ink.
Our new design draws from that legacy. A trident-wielding octopus, marked in tā moko, gripping the helm—not drifting in the current, but defying it.
Bound to no tide. Obey no currents. For those who don't follow. For those who command.
