Manawa means heart. This design wants to symbolize interiority, and inner changes. The hammerhead shark represents strength and tenacity, and it has a wavy shape to symbolize that the path to freedom is not straight or easy. Family (the turtle) can help out of dark moments, like a guardian angel (te manaia). The manta symbolize freedom andbeauty, and the fern is a symbol of wisdom and maturity.

Prepared for Anne.

 Thank you so much for this magnificent design you have created for me. It contains all the major meanings which are very important to me. Having it inked means I´m not only having this beautiful design attached to me, the meanings of it is also going to remind me what I´ve been looking for throughout my whole life. You´re the best, GiErre, love you for that!
