Ka Pā‘ū Ehuehu o Hi‘iaka
The Animated Skirt of Hi‘iaka (2025)
The Wahi Pana Bus Wrap depicts Hi‘iaka’s journey through flowing pa‘u patterns, envisioning pathways through O‘ahu and mirroring TheBus circuits. Hi‘iaka chants the many kau (poetic and sacred chants) honoring the persons and landscapes she encounters, teaching us how to respectfully engage with our surroundings and one another.
