Ta Moko Plaque

This is my first from scratch 3D project. My original intent was to design a set of Kirituhi (similar to Ta Moko, Maori traditional tattoos) and apply them to a blank face mask for 3D printing, but I'm not quite there yet.

I started this project to feel more connected to my family history. My grandmother left New Zealand in 1945 after the war when she married my grandfather. While I know many of the Maori stories and have the genetics I wasn't raised Maori, don't speak the language and can't
