The 2024 Matariki stamps represent artist Shane Hansen’s personal connection with the Māori new year.
Central to the art is Te Tūī Kaitiaki. Shane explains: "I am drawn to him. As I age, my affection and connection grow. His wairua, brightness and vibrancy for life remind me of what it means to be alive. Live true, live full, live real! Wear your feathers with pride, be bold, be brave, believe. E tōku Tūī Kaitiaki."
Each stamp carries reflections of others, observed together, they show the many ancient interconnections of Matariki.
