Āina, or land, is one of the most sacred and foundational aspects of the Hawaiian worldview - specifically, the idea that the āina is an extension of yourself, and that we have a kuleana (responsibility) to nurture and protect our land as we would ourselves. Decades of industrialization and urban development post-occupation have led to the severing of body from āina. Assimilation into Western infrastructure has redefined the āina from lifegiver to a commodity to be exploited. Creating "beautiful" images of the Hawaiian landscape within this context has an intrinsic tension: by capturing the desirable and the idyllic, we are in danger of engaging in the same extractive hierarchy that exhibits Hawai'i as a destination for outsiders, rather than a place whose landscapes have an intentional, sacred relationship with its people. Drawing after the iconic imagery created during the construction of the H3 in Mark Hamasaki and Kapulani Landgraf's seminal body of work Piliāmo'o, I photograph locations where the continued evisceration of the land is an active site, or have already completed - quarries, beach renovations, roads and rail lines puncturing the forests - as well as brief, abstracted visions from a more hopeful future.
