Hula is a uniquely Hawaiian dance accompanied by chant or song that preserves and perpetuates the stories, traditions and culture of Hawaii. No first trip to Hawaii is complete without attending a luau which is a traditional Hawaiian feast where are performing hula dancers and musicians.
Mixed media sculptor Kim Duffett’s stunning, larger-than-life trinity sculpture reaches heavenward to a height of 15 feet, and consists of one male and two females performing the awe-inspiring movements of hula kahiko on the edge of a lava rock waterfall fronting Kalia Tower. Although the sculpture is cast in bronze, it conveys movement and flow from every angle. With maile lei, pa‘u drapery and haku lauahe (fern ankle and wrist adornments) aloft, the trio’s “wind dance” was chosen by the artist because wind is “invisible energy,” felt but unseen.
