Tiare'
This Collage was inspired by the writings of Celestine Hitiura Vaite’, Tahiti’s most notable literary star, who dwells in Australia. My wife & I have had the opportunity to make friends with her some years ago and have painted her portrait in the mean time. This image along with others was submitted as proposals for her (Australian release) book covers. This collage for the third book in her trilogy “TIARE’”, the other books being “Breadfruit” & “Frangipani”.
Whilst the main character in the book is indeed a girl named “TIARE’” , the grand daughter of “Matarena and Pito”, Tiare’ is also the name given to one of Tahiti’s most beautiful flowers, seen here behind the ear of Tiare’ herself (middle of the collage), Grandparents Matarena and Pito walking besides her, towards a Fare (hut) in the distance. A beautiful flower and a even more beautiful story from which this image is inspired from.
