This large-scale, lit work by artist Lonnie Hutchinson is located in the foyer of Te Pae.

Hana consists of three koru-shaped, chandelier-like installations which are made of 11,000 glass and acrylic beads and have a combined weight of just over one tonne.

The artist believes “Hana means to illuminate or brighten. The work has been inspired by the Ngāi Tahu creation story and the concept of Ahikā or keeping the home fires burning. These illuminated yellow and red beads will combine to draw people into Te Pae Christchurch and help them feel welcome."
