These are past security and in the middle of the public terminal. These are on a stand so when the busy crowd comes, you can see the statue. These represent the Hawaiian way of culture today. If you don't have a ticket, you can see the piece if you look though the windows of the restaurant nearby.
The sculpture keeps the tradition of Hawaiian Hula Dancing alive. It shows tourist how delicate the processes is and the rewards that come with it.
