Resting in Mu‘umu‘u — Tūtū Is My Safe Space (Print Edition)

Artist: Ezgi Iraz
Medium: Fine Art Giclée Print
Paper: Museum-Grade Matte
Available Sizes: Multiple options

Inspired by photographs of well-known local designer Rocket Ahuna and their Tūtū, who now rests in the heavens, this piece honors the sacred bond between grandmother and grandchild. A younger wahine rests her head on her grandmother's lap as she lies on a couch, Tūtū sitting at the end—a portrait of intergenerational love, safety, and belonging.

A bag adorned with traditional Hawaiian quilt graphics sits nearby, while an Ottoman Turkish coffee table holds a vase from the collection at Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design in O'ahu, bridging two rich cultural traditions.

This piece celebrates the revolutionary act of slowing down, of honoring your body's need for stillness in a world that demands constant productivity. The artwork reflects a unique fusion of diaspora Ottoman Turkish and Hawaiian influences, bridging cultures through the universal language of rest.

Each print is hand-signed by the artist and printed on archival museum-grade matte paper for lasting beauty. Crafted and printed with care in Hawai'i, ready to ship with aloha.

Perfect for: Family spaces, bedrooms, or anywhere you honor the wisdom and love of your elders.
