Tikilikit puts a Maori influenced technographic twist on the ancient tao Ying Yang symbol. The image of male and female tiki figures, locked in a 69 position erotic embrace presents a sexually charged metaphor for contemporary Aotearoa’s evolving cultural mix. The theme of the image is further supported in the the use of a palindrome spelling of the title, written script with the second k written backwards. The resulting symmetry of the title reads the same forwards, backwards, and in mirror image.
