Daley shares, "I don't believe there's hard facts or immutable edges to nature, to people, and dare I say, to culture. Duality and transformation, I think, are fundamental to evolution. Lāhui, and especially māhū, have the right to self determine their identities, to their own coordinates of belonging, and can define and create their culture, without colonial limitations. I wanted this exhibit and event to be about that right to freedom, and to be an access point for greater knowledge on belonging. These individuals are beacons to their communities, and I wanted them to elevate the meanings of freedom and belonging for māhū from a cultural and mindful perspective."
