Family Business
2024-PRESENT | WHITE PENCIL ON BLACK PAPER | DIMENSIONS VARIABLE
In Hawai‘i and the Pacific, “bombing” refers to specific ways of jumping into the ocean for maximum effect: the Manu, Coffin, Watermelon, Suicide, Can-Opener, and more. Family Business treats these splashes as family portraits, rendered in white pencil on black paper. Bombing, in this light, becomes not just a style of jumping but a strategy for making space, establishing a signature, even if it disappears into memory.
