Still Finding My Way Back Home is a large-scale, wall-mounted mixed-media installation inspired by an earlier work, Mele O Nā Kaukani Wai (2018). Like many who call Hawaiʻi home today, Lehuauakea was raised within their Native Hawaiian and Japanese cultures. Despite so much cultural overlap in the roots of their upbringing, many complex intersectional histories were often overlooked or understated, including racial conflict, economic disparity, displacement, and social assimilation. This piece seeks to address these long-spanning themes by incorporating textile traditions and narrative patterns specific to both their Native Hawaiian ancestors and Japanese ancestors who left their country to work on plantations. Featuring e mbroidered lyrics to two different Hawaiʻi plantation worker songs, delicate adornments, and hand-stitched textile fragments, this ‘quilt’ intentionally mirrors the many generations of intricate, interwoven cultural relationships unique to Hawaiʻi and its people. The traditional textiles, such as kapa and silk, are inherently reflective of place, time, and connection, and by combining them in a manner that honors their uniqueness yet blurs the line between them, Lehuauakea aims to represent these narratives through a quilt greater than the sum of its parts.
