Student Juried Show: Our Positions
Upheaval is defined as “a violent or sudden change or disruption to something.” I view my decision to move away from my home in Hawaiʻi and attend graduate school in Kansas to be a major disruption from the comforts of familiarity. For this print, I took inspiration from the old pahoehoe lava flows, the colors of the lava rock at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, and how all that I carry with me that makes me both kānaka maoli and kamaʻāina is embedded with me despite whatever huakaʻi (journey) I need to endure away from home.
