About

The work is listed among the public art pieces documented for the island. Its position on the Kona coast puts it within reach of the town's main visitor corridor.

The piece is one of the public artworks catalogued under the island's public art programme, which records sculptures and installations across the island.

A 5 out of 5 average from 6 reviews marks it as a small but well-regarded entry in the island's public art inventory. Hilo, Waimea, the Kohala Coast and Puna are among the other districts that frame the island's wider art trail.

Hawaiian culture includes hula dance, oli chants and the voyaging traditions of Polynesian navigators, and a work named for the ancient hula style speaks directly to that heritage. Travel between the Hawaiian islands is by air, since no road or regular ferry connects them, so a visit to the Big Island is usually planned as its own trip. The drier season from April to October brings the most reliable conditions for exploring the island's outdoor sites.
