Symbolism of the Pikorua

Although quite basic in design, the Pikorua holds deep symbolism. Here are some of the meanings associated with the symbol:

• Relationships: The Pikorua symbolizes the strong bond and connection between people. Like the symbol’s continuous twists and loops, you can expect the lives of two people to continue even when they face unexpected twists and turns. The symbol also indicates that you can cross and re-cross paths even though you may be temporarily separated.
• Individual Path in Life: The Pikorua can also signify your unique journey in life. Like life, the Pikorua isn’t straight, but takes many turns and winding routes. In this respect, the Pikorua can be compared to the Unalome, which holds a similar meaning. The symbol has arms without any endpoint, resembling lifelong relationships.
• Connection: The Pikorua connects the spirits of family, friends, and lovers, keeping them close together even across time and space.
