M U R A L . for the . M A U N A . is in process. Taken up to Mauna Ā Wākea, and contributions made on-site, the remaining tiles (squares) are being completed @waiwaicollective with those who hold deep aloha for the Mauna. Some of the participants have been to Puʻuhuluhulu and are now working to integrate their experiences into daily life “back home” –– while others have committed to holding space, and sharing their intent and aloha for the Kiaʻi and the Mauna in other locations around the Pae ʻĀina. . 🔺 . As I follow the signs that are showing me each next step in the creative process, I am learning more and more about what is required to hold space for the sacred, for healing. A great deal depends upon what the desired outcomes or purpose is… the context of why we need to designate a space as separate (temporarily or permanently) from others because of specific needs. . 🔺. For me ʻSEE YOU ON THE MAUNA” asks us to continue to send aloha to the physical mountain, but to expand what we see as “The Mauna.” We can create other spaces away from the actual Mauna that are also the Mauna. We can each be walking expressions of Maunakea, especially when we live with Kapu Aloha on the daily. Everywhere. All the time. To the best of our ability. .🔺. I will be posting more images but for now, one square is all that is needed. The big is represented in the small and the small is represented in the big. If each one of us, like a single square, can focus our intention and aloha to the larger community or towards completing the final artwork, then we have the agency to effect change on a grand scale. #seeyouonthemauna #maunaready #maunakea #kapualoha .🔺. . 🔺 . @Naia_online 🦋 and @saltedlogic create unique media, lifestyle products and services at the intersection of art, science and soul.

PUʻUHULUHULU COLORING PAGES,VOL.1 // Now available 💥as a digital PDF download 💥 on SaltedLogic.com // LINK IN BIO // a portion of the proceeds will go to support @puuhuluhulu University on #Maunakea .. .. ARTIST STATEMENT: Within the context of a political movement, producing a coloring book series in support of any cause, let alone one as significant as protecting Maunakea, might seem too light-hearted; too soft. However, (speaking for myself) protecting Maunakea and all sacred sites is only orbited by the political. The actual movement is about reconnecting to one’s ancestors and to our collective humanity––and if you have already made this (re)connection, it can be about inspiring others to do the same. .. 🔺.. When I think of my ancestors, I also think about the importance of duality in all things, as well as understanding one’s hana (work) and kuleana (responsibility and privilege). So as some of us accept being the tip of the spear, others stand in support and make sure our protectors are fed and healed. As well, we all shift in the ways we support. Those who stand behind often come forward and take their turn to be on the front lines. With this in mind, I offer these coloring pages as a feather, if you will, that compliments the pen (and the proverbial sword). .. 🔺.. Additionally, we must find ways to include our keiki. They are the future leaders. They are the ones who will need to stand as we are today, as protectors to all that is vital to sustainable life-ways. Let us teach them through kapu aloha versus fear and anger. .. 🔺.. As well, in the tradition of my ancestors, not all messages need to be literal, let alone visible; there is much more behind these simple, child-like images than what a simple coloring book might imply. At the back, the last page provides descriptions about the illustrations and why I chose each of them. .. 🔺.. with aloha @naia_online // @saltedlogic .. 🔺.. #mahalo @kanaeokana and many dear #friends for helping me birth this project. ❤️🔺❤️🔺❤️🔺❤️ #naiaonline #saltedlogic #artsaveslives #coloring #healing #lineart #coloringbooks
