Manawa means time, or season, and the panel reads like the face of an embankment: layer on layer of soil and rock exposed in a single cut. Its bands of recovered koa keep the same kind of record, each line of grain a season the tree lived through, shaped by whatever the world did around it. Together they span decades. Seen whole, it is a reminder of how deep that record runs, and how much larger the story is than any one life inside it.
