The Big Island is a collection of over a decade's worth of photographs in and around the island of Hawaii. Conventional depictions of the land and sea are vibrant and infused with colour, however, Ryan's photographs suggest something more ominous and foreboding under the surface. The Big Island is a dichotomy, culturally and physically. The ever-changing nature of the volcanic landscape reflects historical currents of colonisation, globalisation, and the enduring resilience of Native Hawaiian tradition.
