“Aina” for the Hilton Grand Vacation Waikiki … the sculpture hewn from granite the color of polished warm sand. It is a cycle of the elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water, those very elements that continuously shape all that surrounds us. This monumental ten ton arch floats on the surging waters that erupt around its three ton, black and red granite bowl or papa ku’iai and cascade down the lava rock he’eau. Commissioned by the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, Hawai’i. Completed in December, 2008. Artist~KD
