Begg, Marc

Inspired by the Māori symbol Hei Matau, Marc’s sculptures embody strength, prosperity, and safe passage across life’s journeys. Ahi Kā is a powerful sculpture that embodies the enduring presence and ancestral connection of Māori to the land. The form rises in a sweeping arc, with flowing curves that suggest both flame and whakapapa (a line of descent from one’s ancestors through time). It stands as a living tribute to identity, guardianship, and the unbroken bond between people and place.
