You may lose your most valuable property through misfortune in various ways. You may lose your house, your wife and other treasures. But of your moko, you cannot be deprived except by death. It will be your ornament and companion until your last day.
-- Netana Whakaari

This one initially came out of Sterling-ware before I post-processed it in Photoshop until it took on a quality of (what Bob Dylan once called) hypnotic splatterness.
