Inspired by the Hawaiian islands, which I now call home, I acknowledge that I too am a visitor here. Each of us have our place in a finely designed ecosystem and synch together in perfect rhythm to create a masterpiece of life. The earth, in its complexity and simplicity; full of both movement and stillness all at once, is my teacher. All elements in balance with one another. Although the natural and cultural ways of the Hawaiian islands have been perverted, its rhythm and life force are unshakable and cannot be owned. May the richness and wisdom of these islands continue to thrive and be respected by all that humbly walk upon them. May the "Puolo" or "rhythm" in Hawaiian be respected. May we honor the four legged ones, the winged ones, the creatures, the fungi the bacteria and all living things. May we respect each other as we walk further down the path to our human evolution. Thank you to the Hawaiian Islands, specifically Maui for welcoming me here. I vow to continue to reciprocate my care and reverence for this land. May we continue to share our magic with one another and our respect for this earth. Mahalo Nui Lao

UNDERWORLD
OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
01.01.2022
What happens when we expose ourselves to ourselves? We unveil our ugliness and beauty, our darkness and our light. Here I am exposing myself to myself and you… I have always been afraid to use my voice; to sing, to speak my truth. It had always seemed easier to keep things to myself. I am now opening to my vocal expression and its primal power. Knowing that many generations of suppression are being expressed thru my being. This takes place on the Big Island of Hawaii in a lava tube. Pele, the volcano goddess represents the cycles of death and birth as she is constantly destroying and creating new earth. All the vocals and sounds in this soundscape were also recorded in the same location. It is an honor to experience the underground stillness and create art in her womb. Mahalo Pele Ma.

My ancestors were once unseen. I am here to tell their story and transmute their suppressed pain.I am here to offer them the honor they deserve.
As a full Chinese American girl growing up in southern California I thought that being white was better than being me. I thought that identifying with my heritage would make me stand out even more when all I wanted to do was fit in. Staying disconnected from my lineage kept me feeling safe.
Yet in my life, I was guided to places where I couldn’t help but learn about my people.I learned that my Chinese ancestors were often indentured servants and slaves in the places I lived. In both Nevada City and the island of Maui, it was my ancestors that built the streets, railroads, and water systems that still exist today. They were taken advantage of with the hope of a better life, exiled & killed.I felt disgusted. I felt how unseen and violated they were. I heard whispers from my ancestors that they needed to be acknowledged. I began to honor them for the path they paved for me. I began to feel their support and the pride and power of my lineage.
Rather than denying the past or my privilege today, I dedicate my existence as a celebration back to my lineage.They are who teach me who I am and remind me that I come from the earth.My full, raw, wild-expression of my art is my way honor to them and share all that they could not.
I am proud of my ancestors and who I am.
Thank you, I feel you and honor you in every movement, every song, in every breath. You are seen you are celebrated, I love you.

PERFORMANCE PROJECT

The Wood Wide Web roaming character crew is the living embodiment of the mushroom kingdom. They are a family of mushroom beings with a strong mycelium connection, who are seeking others to join their network to unify the forest. They came from planet Zygomycota with the intention to save the earth. Their purpose is to remind us of the invisible network that connects all living beings. They celebrate the power of the mushrooms to carry forth the circle of life. The Wood Wide Web spreads spores of earth magic, activism, and wisdom through play, connection, presence and movement.
