EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century in Kalaupapa, Hawaii. In front of a traditional pili grass house, an old woman is seen diligently beating tapa cloth. Her weathered hands demonstrate years of expertise as she skillfully works on this essential task. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, this elderly Hawaiian woman embodies strength and resilience. The thatched roof above her head provides shelter from the elements while she carries out her daily routine. Sitting or standing outside her humble abode, she represents the epitome of family life and hard work. The image also captures glimpses of other individuals nearby - men and women engaged in various activities within their community. This snapshot offers a glimpse into Pacific Islander culture during a time when people relied on their skills to create necessities for their families. Preserved through monochrome art media, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenges and isolation, human determination prevails. As we admire this scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era where traditions were passed down through generations with love and dedication.
