Newzealand – wonder

Delani Brown

Delani is an impressive character. He has the build of the Māori warrior, his bulging arm muscles are a testimony to his craft: here’s a man that can shape a 2-ton piece of wood with his hands! His solemn Māori semblance pierces you with honest looks, he is utterly unpretentious. A master artist, he opens his mouth to speak, and from it comes a deep, syncopated voice.

A Tale of Two Islands

The experience of nature is at the heart of New Zealand. It is a twofold experience: the wilderness of the South Island, and that of the pruned and cultivated landscapes of the North. New Zealand is the tale of the western settlers, who tried to escape the trials and miseries of industrialisation, and that of the Maōri who struggle to find a place for their worldview in the modern world.
