This piece draws inspiration from Mortlockese and Chuukese artifacts: the gleaming shells woven into her jewelry, the hibiscus-wood comb, and the coral-carved pounder. At the same time, the portrait speaks to the shared connections among Pacific Islanders. Through our traditional practices, tools, and adornments, we find reflections of ourselves in one another.
