O‘ahu, being formed and shaped by salt water as a primary material, suggests a collaborative gesture with the ocean. Collected from the six moku, or district coastlines, the waters used to create this drawing are allowed to flow, mix, and dry freely, invoking the visual sensations of coastal topography and tides.
Suspended in the convergence of land and sea, O‘ahu examines both the physical and theoretical boundary located at the cessation of land, and explores the inherent continuity and connectivity carried through the realm of water. O‘ahu strives to emulate a seamless connection between island and ocean; one that traverses seas, linking all land and all people.
