About

Fear of the Unknown could be the uncertainty of our natural environment in 10 years.
It could be wondering how direct or indirect Hurricane Calvin will hit.
It could be anticipating more anxiety.
It could be navigating somewhere new.
It could be making a difficult transition in life.
It could be a long-awaited conversation.

Visitors are invited to contemplate 34 artworks by 28 artists in the ʻEwa gallery (second floor). Take a closer look and find details that help reveal narratives of exploration, change, and discovery. Some artworks are recent additions to the collection, on display to the public for the first time.
