Convergence I combines hand-printed woodblock imagery, tapa cloth, lava stone, and mixed media in an exploration of wayfinding, memory, and connection. Indigenous waypoint patterns create a visual language of movement and navigation, while the malolo (flying fish) serves as a symbol of journey, transformation, and guidance.
Layered materials and symbolic forms bring together land, sea, and sky, reflecting the convergence of cultural traditions, personal experience, and the enduring human impulse to find one's way.
Convergence I is the first work in an ongoing series exploring the meeting of pathways, cultures, and materials. Constructed from hand-printed woodblocks, tapa cloth, lava stone, and mixed media, the work draws upon Pacific traditions of navigation and wayfinding.
The malolo (flying fish) moves through a landscape of waypoint patterns and symbolic markers, suggesting both physical and spiritual journeys. Layered surfaces and materials create a visual palimpsest where memory, place, and movement converge, inviting reflection on the routes that connect us to one another and to the world around us.
