The image depicts a canoe centrally placed between two swirling water patterns, representing different realms of knowledge. On the left, the water is labeled Western knowledge, and on the right, it is labeled Maori knowledge. The canoe is manned by rowers, indicating purposeful movement, with its sail directed outward to convey exploration. The surrounding water patterns visually distinguish the two systems while suggesting their coexistence, creating a symbolic representation of navigating and integrating distinct knowledge traditions.
