Hawai’i artist creating vanishing murals using foraged wildfire charcoal, earth pigments, and ocean water 🌊

How did the idea of #VanishingMurals come about? ✨ It started in late 2019 as I watched the bushfires in Australia from across the world, in the USA while missing and being separated from someone I loved who was living in Sydney ❤️ Read the rest in Comments 👇 #hawaiiartist

Stay safe, everyone. All this water has to go somewhere. Ko’olau looking so beautiful today. #hawaiistorm #konalow #waimanalo

Filming the reel became the performance piece 😂

Nine years ago, I began painting temporary murals on my garage wall. My son called it the “Forever Wall.” That experiment taught me that letting go can be just as powerful as holding on - and it became the seed for my #VanishingMurals practice.

There are less than five ‘akikiki (a Native Hawaiian honeycreeper) left in the wild.
