Breathing Spell is a striking vertical original from Kirsty Nixon’s Flora & Fauna collection, offering a moment of stillness in the wild beauty of Aotearoa. A Tūī nestles within deep maroon Harakeke blooms, its iridescent plumage illuminated against the rich greens of a flowering cabbage tree and soft, dusty blue skies beyond.

With a masterful interplay of texture, tone, and light, Kirsty captures the layered vibrancy of the native landscape. Breathing Spell is both serene and vivid—a refined, contemplative piece that invites pause, presence, and connection to the rhythms of nature.
