Kanoa Kealoha
a papaya farm on the Big Island, Hawai'i
Raised amidst the humid flora of Pahoa, Kanoa learned to balance the precarious dance between the sturdy routine of the fields and the transience of carnival life. A chance accident on a ride ten years ago sparked a silent feud with their sibling, yet left them acutely aware of the impermanence of motion and sound. Each day Kanoa threads their life together with whispered stories carried by the winds that rustle the papayas.
