"They that go down to the sea in ships...these see the works of the Lord."
Psalm 107:23–24

Marian devotion spans the largest body of water on the planet, from the volcanic peaks of Hawai'i to the glacial fjords of Aotearoa, New Zealand, to the giant stone sentinels of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). She represents approximately 45 million people across thousands of islands, embodying the navigation of the "Wayfinders." In the Philippines, images are carried through processions and seafaring traditions. In Polynesia and Micronesia, she is integrated into carving, weaving, and coastal practice. Along maritime routes, her influence travels with migration and exchange. Rendered in finely woven pandanus fiber in natural ivory and pale tan, Samoan ie toga tradition.
