HONUAMEA
E ō Pele Honuamea
Ke kumu o ke ahi o Hulinu‘u
Nei ka leo o ka pōhaku
Kawewe ka ua maka o Kauwila
Nakeke akula i ka mole o ka honua
“The land resounds as her life force pulsates, roaring through the foundation of the earth’s core…” She is “Honuamea” … “Sacred Earth.” Manaola returns to his familial grounding to an ancestral consciousness rooted in the foundation herself, “Pele-honuamea ~ Pele in her land creation form,” and fashions this homage reflective of the mana she inherits from her mother Haumea, the matrilineal divine of possibilities. Thus, a design of circular patterns representative of the chemistry she receives in her chromosones honorific of the female cosmos, along with geometric depictions of volcanic activity detailing the movement in her magmatic force to create new land.
Manaola looks through a traditional lens at what is often presumed as cataclysmic, and conceptualizes this heirloom engaged by a Hawaiian world view that venerates the cyclical nature of our home environment, in that “There is never a definitive ending. There are only the beginning and ending of cycles.” Therefore, as she vents through the earth’s mantle to create new land, Manaola too bursts through the common crust of wearable art to produce this mantle of fashion to shoulder creation. Honuamea is the assurance that with the creation of new land is the promise of new foundations and its global potential for classic innovation.
