We were born in Korea, Colombia, and the United States, each shaped by the landscapes, languages, and traditions of our homelands. Though we carry different roots, it is our shared love for the nature and culture of Hawai‘i that has drawn us together on this island.
Working with varied materials and artistic voices, we explore our personal connections to the ʻāina—the land, the life it nurtures, and the stories it remembers. While our practices are distinct, they converge in harmony with a common intention: to honor, to learn from, and to care for this place.
“Aloha ʻĀina: Many Roots, United in Aloha” becomes a meeting point of three journeys. Rooted in different soils, yet growing toward the same light, we express our deep love and respect for the land, and for all who dwell upon it.

우리는 한국, 콜롬비아, 미국에서 태어나 각자의 땅, 언어, 전통 속에서 자라왔습니다. 서로 다른 뿌리를 가지고 있지만, 하와이의 자연과 문화에 대한 깊은 사랑이 우리를 이 섬에서 하나로 이어주었습니다. 이 전시는 우리가 이 섬의 자연과 그 위에 살아가는 이 땅의 생명에 대한 사랑과 존중을, 작품을 통해 담아내는 고백입니다.
“Aloha ʻĀina: Muchas raíces, unidas en Aloha”
Nacimos en Corea, Colombia y Estados Unidos, y crecimos en nuestras propias tierras, lenguas y tradiciones. Aunque tenemos raíces diferentes, nuestro profundo amor por la naturaleza y la cultura de Hawái nos ha unido en esta isla. Esta exposición es una confesión a través de nuestras obras: una expresión de amor y respeto por la naturaleza de esta tierra y por toda la vida que habita en ella.
