In collaboration with Maori cultural artist Sam Mangakahia, Kala presents The Voyage Collection
— 3 unique pieces of native Maori artwork. Sam has been telling stories through his art for 13 years and has created over 450 custom art pieces that each have a story. Each of the 3 designs/stories focus on specific human experiences we all share in common — Unity, Courage and Guidance— designed with natural elements that speak powerfully to these experiences. The artwork is laser-etched on mahogany and each ukulele comes with a personalized Voyage Collection gig bag, and story card hang tag telling the unique message of each piece of art.
GUIDANCE: Sharing and receiving are essential parts of life's voyage.
In Polynesia, sea turtles can be known as spiritual guardians ('aumakua). As you acquire knowledge and advice from guardians in your life, it can be a source of direction and hope. Likewise, as you progress on your journey, you can inspire others by sharing your talents.
