Pono

Artwork comes unframed but ready to hang.

A little about this piece: This piece was inspired by the Hawaiian tradition of Ho'oponopono, the ritual of forgiveness. Traditionally, it was a formalized process of conflict resolution between two parties. In its modern interpretation, the practice is aimed at resolving conflict within oneself. A ritual of self-reflection and self-forgiveness results in releasing the chords that bind us to our problems or prohibit us from moving past issues that reside in our minds. Rather than depict the act of performing the ritual, my piece represents the inner healing and release of ho'oponopono.
