Specsavers New Zealand has released a new range of frames, designed in collaboration with renowned Māori artist Kura Te Waru Rewiri, in support of The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ’s mission to end avoidable blindness in the Pacific.
The limited-edition range is inspired by one of Te Waru Rewiri’s most prominent works, ‘Puhoro Meets the Stripes III’. “The artwork explores cultural symbolism and artistic legacy, referencing traditional Māori art forms and knowledge through its use of colour and pattern. It draws specifically on kōwhaiwhai – the flowing patterns often found in ancestral meeting houses,” Specsavers said.
Te Waru Rewiri said the collaboration provides an opportunity for her to help other people through art. “I have a huge amount of admiration for the work The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ does in Fiji, helping our Pacific neighbours regain their eyesight.”
