The Right to Grow
By Von Dekker
Digital Illustration
2002
Radiating with the bright optimism of Aotearoa’s flora, The Right to Grow places a wide-eyed native bird at the centre of a joyful bloom. Surrounded by mānuka and pauwhananga white flowers, and a ring of vivid red cherries, the figure becomes a small guardian of renewal — a symbol of childhood, potential, and the gentle strength found in nature.
This work reflects the idea that growth happens through care: the way families nurture one another, the way culture anchors identity, and the way land and memory shape our sense of home. Bright, playful, and quietly symbolic, it is a reminder that every being has the right — and the space — to flourish.
