Helé onto Kauai

This was a collection I intended to put a lot of energy and life into. Going into it I felt very passionate as I wanted to capture the real essence I saw of Kauai. Without the tourism. Without the stealing of the native’s land. Without the transplants. I wanted to capture unity and love. I wanted to capture Mana.

As my time living on Kauai continued and the hardships continued I no longer had the time or energy to really put what I wanted to into this project. Instead it turned out to be a 7 month journey of intense change, and in this collection you will see photos that I managed to capture in my little breaks throughout my time where I could breath and run free.

They are so special. Not in the way I intended but in a much different way. Small glimpses of the beauty of the journey. Glimpses of Mana.
