Anaru Kawiti was a human artist remembered for his "Believe" series of artworks. Some of his art pieces are displayed in the Museum of Humanity.[1]
Biography[edit]
Little is known of Kawiti's early life or career. He rose to prominence as a great artist through his Believe series, a collection that sought to capture the mythos and sacrifice of the Spartan supersoldiers during the Human-Covenant War.
One of his most well-known pieces depicts a Spartan warrior during the fall of Reach, bloodied and defiant, holding aloft a tactical nuclear device as a horde of Covenant surrounds him. This particular piece was placed in the Museum of Humanity to showcase humanity's resilience against overwhelming odds. The inscription featured beneath it was a quote directly taken from a poem written by Victorian English poet, Alfred Tennyson.[1]
Kawiti's life was tragically cut short when he perished during the Ur-Didact's attack on New Phoenix in 2557. A year later, journalist Benjamin Giraud referenced Anaru Kawiti and his talented art in an episode of his Ghosts & Glass podcast.[1]
Trivia[edit]
Both Anaru's name and surname suggests that he may have been of Māori descent.
