On August 8, 2023, a massive fire devastated the town of Lahaina, Maui. More than 2,000 buildings burned, and over 100 people died in the tragic event. Lahaina was once the capital of the Kingdom of Hawai’i and many people called it home, including a lot of immigrants from Mexico and the Philippines who work in the resorts that crowd West Maui’s shoreline. The causes of the fire were many, from Maui County miscommunications to non-native invasive plants that had been left unmanaged. Now, due to West Maui’s overdevelopment, the availability of long-term housing for survivors is extremely limited. Images for “Restoring Lahaina” were made in November 2023, two months after the fire; they document the town’s very special recovery, resilience, and plans for a Lahaina that are carried out in the pono - or right - way.
