EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a glimpse into the ancient Hawaiian culture and traditions, specifically focusing on a burial ground known as a Morai. Dating back to circa 1770, this representation of a Morai at Owhyhee (Hawaii) provides insight into the rituals and practices surrounding death in the region. The image showcases intricately carved headstones and markers that serve as memorials for those who have passed on. The solemn atmosphere of the burial ground is palpable, with an air of reverence and respect for the deceased permeating through the scene. The Morai depicted in this print serves as a reminder of the deep connection that Hawaiians have with their ancestors and their belief in honoring those who came before them. It also offers a window into how death was viewed and commemorated in Pacific Islander cultures during this time period. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when life and death were intertwined in ways that may seem foreign to us today. This print is not just an image; it is a piece of history frozen in time, allowing us to reflect on our own mortality and appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii.
