Pavam is a Komboka grandmother who, 20 years ago, before the catastrophe, was in charge of teaching the art of ancestral jewelry-making to the children of the archipelago. On the day of the explosion, her face was slashed by fragments of volcanic rock. As a result, it is Pavam who bears the biggest scars of the catastrophe, both physically in terms of her injuries and mentally in terms of all the students she lost.
