The Wave – Galu

Every shell is unique, no two shell surfaces will ever be exactly alike. Golden Trochus Shell here is carved into a Wave Swirl. The wave or Galu is a naturally occurring phenomenon in nature and has particular significance to the Pacific Peoples as the Ocean has an ever present effect on their lives.

It was the Waves which brought us here and wave forms are a central theme in Pacific philosophy – the ebb and flow of time, the rising and falling of the tides and the cycle of things. Man is dependent on nature and must be in harmony with it in order to prosper – this is also known as the circle of life, the cyclical nature of all things, important to South Pacific Belief.
