Pākikini can move through the body in ways that are difficult to name. It can settle into the chest, tighten the throat, or sit just beneath the surface, waiting.

For many survivors, this feeling does not always come with a clear reason in the present moment.

It can rise suddenly, carried through memory, through the tinana, through what has been held over time.

In these moments, the need is not for solutions or explanations. What is often needed is a steady presence. To be near someone who can sit without rushing the feeling away.

To be listened to without being questioned or corrected. To be allowed to move through it at a pace that feels safe.

As we enter this time, we create space for the experiences that are often held in silence.

This series brings forward kupu that name what can be felt within, the pain, the ache, the pull back, the confusion.

Words that can help give shape
to what has been carried
and what is still being lived.
