About Code Ring Mōwhiti

Ko Code Ring he mōwhiti hiriwa me tōna papa o roto ka taea te wehe. Kei te wāhanga o roto tētahi kōhatu, ā, ka taea te mau hei mōwhiti motuhake. Ka taea hoki te mau i te papa o waho anake, nā reira ka rua ngā mōwhiti i te mea kotahi. Kua whakanohoia te kōhatu ki te taumata o runga ki ngā matimati koura angiangi e whakamahara ana ki ngā ia toto iti e karapoti ana i te ngākau. He rerekē te āhua tipu-noa o te matimati o roto i te māmā o ngā papa o waho. He mea hanga te kōhatu mai i ngā rawa māori, ā, kāore he tae matū, he matū rānei i whakamahia i te hanganga. He mea hanga ā-ringa te mōwhiti ki te hiriwa, e whai ana i tētahi tikanga tawhito o te mahi whakapaipai i Irāna.

Inspiration: Self-Actualization,Self-actualization means to render the maximum potentiality of an individual by her/himself.A mind which has traversed from darkness and murkiness to a manifestation of light. In the top of the ring, a stone has been placed firmly and steadily, like an ever beating alive heart, by golden capillaries. as Abraham Maslow indicates:what a man can be, he must be.
Project Duration: This project started in 2017 and was finalized after the first prototype.
