Part of Expansion (land.water.sky), a sculptural project that looks at the visual language of hyperdevelopment in the Ward neighborhood of Honolulu–particularly how the architecture, marketing language, and public design leverage elements of nature and cultural history to sell a slick package of mindful luxury that belies a legacy of refuse, extractions, and dislocations left in the wake of moneyed incursions across the land, water, and into the sky.
