The story of The Separation of Rangi and Papa

From the dark, confined realm between Ranginui (sky father) and Papatūānuku (earth mother), one of the primal parents' divine children attempts to push apart their loving yet stifling embrace, to create a world with more space and light, in which to live.

'The Separation of Rangi and Papa' was inspired by Sofia's passion for the land and Maori mythology of Aotearoa.  

In 2005 Sofia won first prize with this piece at the Auckland East Arts Council Art Competition in New Zealand.
