The Sea is Never full is a reflection on the power of peripheries, boundaries, limits. Pulling from the symbolic language of the oral and written histories of families displaced by volcanism, of the collapsing infrastructure within the rural Hawaiian villages, and of the historical Native Hawaiian churches as cultural sanctuaries. Through the traditions of sacred imagery, the fine-art applications of new media technologies, and the indigenous impulse to both  resist and accelerate change, I aim to illuminate the overwhelming desire for meaning in times of crisis. The Sea is Never Full is a dream of extraordinary experiences that lie hidden in the smallest of places. The Painted Church is the last surviving remnant of the Hawaiian village of Kalapana, now buried under 100ft of lava– thus, it is a puuhonua for our narrative continuity as the errant descendants of the land. Lifted off its original foundation and saved from destruction; while personal property and possessions were left to the mercy of Peleaihonua (Pele-the-Earth-Eater); the work is an expression of the dreams of the periphery, their profound rebellion over unfathomable power, the extraordinary experience emerging from the ordinary source, and the proliferation of possibilities.
