Long ago, after the young wind crowned her guardian on the Big Island, she called for others to join him. The sea gods sent her palms from distant shores, each carrying a different gift. One for strength, one for grace, one for patience, and so on until there were many.

They rooted themselves in a crescent of black lava and golden sand, facing the ocean as one. From this place, they listened to the waves and shared what they learned with the guardian. Together, they decided when to greet the wind and when to hold still, when to bend and when to stand firm.

Islanders say that when the trade winds sweep in at dawn, the palms lean closer to one another, whispering their counsel. The rhythm of their fronds is the sound of the island thinking.

Signed and numbered, printed on museum-grade paper, Council of Palms carries the unity of the grove into any space it calls home.

Never Deny The Call Of The Palm Tree.

Museum-Quality

Archival Paper

Each Founders Series print is produced on Hahnemühle Photo Rag, a museum-grade archival paper chosen for its rich texture and durability. Paired with pigment inks, this ensures vibrant tones, deep blacks, and detail that will last for generations. Every print is crafted to order, signed, and numbered, creating a true collector’s edition.

A Note from the Moment

A Timeless Memory

Every Founders Series print includes a Note from the Moment, written by Gustav Nel. This note shares the story behind the image, the details and memory that made the photograph possible. It reminds the collector that they are not only acquiring art, but also the preserved memory of the moment it was captured. Exclusive to the Founders Series, these notes will never be released again.
