Description

Shot from below, the traditional Hawaiian kiʻi rise powerfully into the sun-washed sky, their carved features glowing in the warm bokeh of the light. The upward angle makes them feel monumental—guardians watching over the land with timeless strength. In this moment, the ancient artistry and the tropical sun come together to tell a story of culture, spirit, and the enduring presence of Hawaiʻi’s ancestral protectors.
