Design Story

Ora is a word that can be translated into life, health and safe as well.

This design was requested by Felipe after having his knee enjuried.

The manaia is a guardian spirit, a guardian angel, and it contains elements from air (bird head), earth (human body) and sea (fish tail), representing thus also balance between these three elements.

The hammerhead shark is a symbol of determination and strength, and the ray symbolizes freedom and protection, and it´s here included into a sun with korus (new beginning) and ipu (fertility) to symbolize wealth in this new life.
