In Maori culture, the twist is a powerful and versatile symbol that reflects the interconnectedness of life, the ongoing cycle of growth and transformation, and the enduring strength found in unity. Whether represented by the koru, Double Twist, or Triple Twist, these motifs remind the Maori people of their deep connection to the natural world, their ancestors, and each other. The twists symbolize not only continuity and strength but also the importance of relationship, connection, and the journey through life.
