Pacific Islander Art:
Wood Carving: Wood carving is prominent in Pacific cultures, producing items such as tikis, canoes, and storyboards. These carvings often represent deities, ancestors, or stories passed down through generations.
Tattooing: Tattoos (tatau or moko) are highly significant in many Pacific cultures, including Māori, Samoan, and Hawaiian traditions. Tattoos signify status, genealogy, and life milestones, with specific patterns unique to each person and community.
Tapa Cloth: Made from the bark of trees like mulberry, tapa cloth is intricately decorated with geometric patterns and symbols, often used in rituals, celebrations, or as a sign of social status.
Ritual and Community: Pacific Islander art is deeply tied to rituals, status, and genealogy. Many art forms serve ceremonial purposes, celebrating significant life events or honoring ancestors and deities.

Tattooing is another significant art form among Pacific Islanders, with traditions such as tatau in Samoa, moko among the Māori of New Zealand, and tattoo practices in Hawaiian culture.
