Nā ka'e o ka manawa (the edges of time) (2021)

Digital Image
Edition 1 + 1 AP

Nā Ka'e o ka Manawa is a part of a photo series of composite panoramas that aims to shift the perception of the viewer into recognizing rocks, trees, water and the ʻāina (land) as extensions of the body, or the other way, of the body as an extension of the unfurling tide of the land. By connecting to the lava rocks on Wailuku river, which was once molten lava, Ribeaux’s body traces the edges of the rocks and performs the atemporality of lava - how it has moved over time when molten liquid, like a dance, and after solidification, how it is reformed constantly by the river. These images also play with their atemporal nature - existing out of time to a space that is boundless, extending to the beginning and the end of time.

1/3 of the artist proceeds from this NFT sale will be donated to the Aloha‘Āina Support Fund, which prioritizes frontline logistical support for non-violent direct actions taken to protect Mauna Kea from further industrial development and the construction of the TMT (Thirty Meter Telescope) if this piece is acquired.
