A Maori woman with intricate kowhaiwhai tattoos on her cheeks, depicting birds and stems, her face adorned with deliberate imperfections: a lazy eye, an extra strand of hair on her chin, a gently curved, asymmetrical smile. Her hair cascades down her back like a waterfall, woven with tiny bones and feathers that shimmer in the sunlight. She wears a traditional korowai cloak made from layered black feathers, its patterns weaving together the stories of her ancestors. Low-resolution, poorly preserved, and weathered, the image is a relic of a bygone era.
