Papatūānuku is shown through emotions, expressed through a mix of elements that come together. Taking the term ‘femininity’ society claimed to know, now reinventing it through passion. Papatūānuku is both spirit and mind. In Māori history, Papatūānuku is the land, a mother earth figure who gives birth to all things of the world and imparts many blessings to her children. She is the birthplace of all things and the place to which they return, and is a foundation for human action. Papatūānuku is the first kaupapa in the traditional worldview. Papatūānuku emerged from underwater. This reflects the divine femininity within the ocean.
