Summary
| Description |
English: Larger than life, the epic wave behind surfer pioneer Duke Kahanamoku is Queen Lili’uokalani herself. Bold and defiant, she endures the tide of western conquests. This glass wave monument honors her spirit that still pounds in the hearts of her people, and unfurls the forged legacy she left behind.
On the balcony below are children who have come to offer gifts and to share Aloha. Spiritual and virtuous, Queen Lili’uokalani made sure all future children of Hawaii would have an Ohana (a loving family). Layered deep within the mural are other great Hawaiians such as Prince Kuhio who encouraged and supported her. With curved blocks of aqua jeweled glass, the effect of light coming through from a skylight above is similar to the effect in a real wave. This allows the viewer to bask in ‘the zone’ of a surfer’s world. The balcony visually integrates with the building and is ornamented with lush elegant urns, and a grand staircase that issues forth like sea foam. |
