Inspired by New Zealand’s vast landscapes, Wellington’s wind, and the Japanese folding fan, my work, rooted in Sogetsu Ikebana, explores cultural connection through wind, expressing invisible air and the quiet harmony between nature, movement, and stillness.

Coming into Being is a process of unfolding the hidden trauma from childhood.
It is about making conscious decisions fueled by unconscious processes.
It is the emergence of something unknown into the here and now, into the reality and presence of our being.
It is about being seen. It is the acknowledgement of the inner forces within ourselves wanting to come alive and heal, while still recognising and accepting the toll of internal suffering.
Trauma is not visible like deeply cut wounds; it is like a secret life living in us, often leading to a battle with life.
The artist has used her own story of discovery and transformation, photographically documented with the focus on movement and dance. Based on her own choreography in particular environments.
"Now I can be seen where I came from and who I am becoming now."

Art and Pain: Living with chronic pain through art, is a powerful and deeply personal exhibition by Mara Elwood. Through her work, Mara shares insights into living with chronic pain, offering both reflection and connection through creative expression.
Visitors are invited to contribute to a co-created art installation and try one of the techniques used in a daily year-long practice piece Mara will be exhibiting.
Mara is also using this exhibition as a fundraiser for Migraine Foundation Aotearoa New Zealand. All proceeds from sales of the show, including ceramic pieces, Amigurumi creatures, and upcycled canvas multimedia art will be donated to the foundation to support our advocacy work.
