Koru, The New Zealand Symbol
The Maori Koru design is scroll/ spiral shaped and is derived from the frond of the New Zealand fern plant.
'Koru' is the Maori word for the new unfurling fern frond. The pattern is used in many Maori and New Zealand art forms and symbolizes new life, regeneration, growth, strength and peace.
For many this design is the symbol for renewal, hope for the future. Because everything continues and is reborn. Or as the ancient Greeks said: 'Panta Rhei': everything flows.
