Moʻokūʻauhau: The Past Before Us at Picture Theory features Michele’s evocative paintings that reimagine Hawaii through ancestral memory and emotional depth. Her textured, mysterious worlds explore identity, history, and the body with recurring motifs of water, youth, and community. Rather than depict a place, the work conjures a sense of belonging and transformation—offering a rich, layered vision that is both personal and expansive.
