So proud to have my Terra Nova, Hawaii story included in At Large N° 15. A wonderful intro by @erikrasmussen_atlarge Excerpts from my person journal included. In May of 2019, one year after the lower Puna eruption on the big island of Hawaii I visited to explore the lives of those living with volcanic events effects. - Kenji’s interior, Leilani Estates • Fissure 8, Untitled • Fissure 8, Fumerole 04 I wasn’t interested in conveying scientific data, centuries of cultural mythologies, or resolutions. I was interested in the moment- where I was, where this place is. What does it feel like to be on the edge of a rift in the soul of the earth? • Fissure 8, Untitled In Puna the Leilani Estates were an eerie calm and quiet, the sky and light indifferent. I found an anti-Anthropocene scape, human activity submissive and vulnerable. With all of its heat and immeasurable impact, the event itself seem cold and stern. • Volcanic Rock Fracture, Fissure 8 • Issac Hale Park Sidewalk • Debris, Folding Chair, Leilani Estates • Rift, Leilani Estates • Dusk, Kalapana An explanation in contrasts, uninvited and conscious of the weight of each step - heal to toe, brittle pumice surface, a viscous solid, sugar breaking into darkness, breathing oxygen and celestial gas I was not present. • Kainoa To sit with eyes shut and listen to the Pacifico’s soft waves. Unique audible signature. • Kalahna-Kapoho Road Oxygen-rich atmosphere with lush notes of sulfur and sea.
